Anticipated Inaccessibility

[GrandOldTeam]

At some point in the near future (TBC), GOT will be inaccessible for up to two hours.

Microsoft have decided we're bad snides and are refusing to deliver any emails from our server to their hotmail, live, outlook etc email accounts. This is a big headache as a lot of our members can now not receive email notifications, reset/change their passwords and prospective members can not register with a Microsoft email address as they never receive the verification email or noticiation we've approved their account.

So, we're having to change our server IP which means our domain will be in purgatory for a little while until it resolves. Or something like that. You IT nerds, desperate to correct me - pipe right down.

So in short. Not my fault. Blame Microsoft. And @micknick

Can you not schedule it for during the Derby?

That's scary, I was going to suggest the same.

Can you not schedule it for during the Derby?

Or preferably around the very moment Slippy G steps up to his penalty for a hat-trick of penalties in the same derby.

Being new to GOT I haven't witnessed a full blown fume, is it that bad?
