Aw, darn. I tried HearMe at 10 my time (1 AM Mudcat Time), but nobody was there. Even the Help Forum was down Sunday, although a few of us gathered there Saturday to comiserate.
Maybe we should make an agreement to meet at HearMe when the 'Cat is down and keep HearMe going, so people don't suffer too much. The URL for our HearMe room is

Might be a good idea to bookmark it now. I believe it's completely independent of the Mudcat server, so it will probably be working when the 'Cat is down.
