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

"It’s an exciting time for video games because, as Ian Bogost told me when I spoke to him about Borderlands 2, we are reaching a new 'level of sophistication with games'—both in terms of how they are understood and played, and also ultimately how they are made." Bogost is a professor of digital media in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. Source: Wall Street Journal Blog, January 2, 2013
