[socialmedia] Planned PGLAF downtime this weekend (TBC)

[Greg Newby]

Surprise! The downtime happened Sunday evening. It only took around two hours.

All the DNS records for *.pglaf.org have been updated. If you have trouble connecting, you might need to flush your DNS cache or restart your system.

Let me know if you notice any anomalies.
