In order to resolve an ongoing performance issue impacting the grid, we need to halt all access to the grid database starting at 3:00 UTC on Jan 22 through 3:00 UTC on Jan 23. During this time your computer will not be able to fetch new work to process and it will not be able to report complete work back to our servers. Additionally, in order to keep our filesystem from filling up, we will need to prevent files from being uploaded to our servers during this time as well. However, during this time the website and forums should remain available.

The technical details about why we need to take this outage are available here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=408639

We apologize for the need to take this extended outage and we appreciate your patience as we work through this issue.
