There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“When faced with the reality of these products [like Kickstarter, a new video console that allows anyone to publish games similar to Android Marketplace], disappointment is inevitable,” wrote Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication and the Graduate Program in Digital Media, in a column for Fast Company. “We're paying for the sensation of a hypothetical idea, not the experience of a realized product.” Source: Fast Company - July 18, 2012
