[games_access] IGDA Website Problems

[Michelle Hinn]

Sort of... It also means "something went wrong that is probably not your fault and logging in may not help either because you are probably locked out of doing that too!" ;)

Sorry that the whole thing makes ME grumpy...It's been about a 4-5 year battle with the IGDA website (with years of "the website will be ready next month") so at this point I know I've given up and just give people (like Sandra said that she did) the SIG listserv sign up web address!
