It won't affect this Yahoo group, but the BC site might be unavailable for some amount of time, depending on how long the changeover takes and how long individual name-servers take to catch up with the new location.
Here's the news item ( http://www.bookcrossing.com/newscontent/428 ) from the BC home page with more info: "We keep saying big things are happening here at BookCrossing and so they are. There's been a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes, all to improve the site. On Wednesday, April 4 at 11:59 PM, Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -7), we will be migrating over to our new web and database servers. (Pause for all the enthusiastic cheers.) In order to do this we have to change our DNS address, which will cause some people to lose connection with the site for a limited amount of time until their DNS server updates to our new address. (Bottom line for the non-geeks is that you may have an interruption in your access to the site, which is beyond our control, after midnight on Wednesday.) We are sorry for the inconvenience but it is nothing that can be helped on our side. We will use the downtime to finalize our data transfer and test the site to ensure that it is ready to go. We think you'll be pleased with the speed enhancement and stability these new servers provide to the site. We wanted to let you know so that you can get all your urgent BookCrossing needs done early in case your server takes a bit of time to update to the new BookCrossing address." With luck there won't be much downtime, and the site should be much faster once the upgrade's complete! -GoryDetails Books just wanna be FREE!
