As far as I know the yabbs gtg won't be happening...unless a new system goes 
up and people there plan it.  I was never involved with this one in the first
place (didn't even really plan on attending)...

The story with yabbs going down is basically that I want to be able to use
my computer for other stuff and don't have the time/energy/interest to run
the system anymore.  Death and a few others are working on getting a new
system up that yabbs could run on.  Details about that will be posted here
until this system goes down, and then after that they will be available on
the yabbs is dead mailing list (to join send mail to 
yabbs-is-dead-request@nine.org).  In addition using gopher or telnet to try
and connect to this yabbs will tell you any current news about the starting
of a replacement system.

If all goes well with Death and his crew total downtime will probably be on
the order of 2 weeks to a month in getting a new system up.
