Final failure of former student organizations server, clubs.sa.psu.edu.

The former NT/IIS based Web server for student organizations, http://clubs.sa.psu.edu/, had a critical software failure during the week of (Mar 17 - 21, 2003). To expedite the current migration schedule, applications previously provided by the former Web server no longer will be supported. Scheduled deployment and support for replacement applications on the new server will continue in a timely manner. Student organization data, such as counter values, guestbooks, and custom CGI applications were not lost.
