Starting on May 18th all user accounts may be unavailable.  I will be taking down the main DM server (bam/file) for a major upgrade of the software.  During this time no one will be able to log into the system at all, this includes the wiki as well as the website.  I will make an effort to try to get the user accounts working on a secondary server for the time being but please be prepared to lose all access temporarily.
