Scheduled Server Maintenance Tonight

Just a heads-up that the GDDS server will be undergoing a scheduled maintenance tonight at 11:00 PM EST.

The server will stay online during this time however all GDDS websites will be unavailable for an estimated 30-45 minutes. During this time an unbranded, generic "Under Maintenance" page will be displayed instead of the website content. Once finished all GDDS websites will be back online.
