It's now 4pm in Texas, and the credit card processor is still suffering a "major outage".

Email from FunPub...

We are watching AN's (credit card processor) status feed to see when they resolve their system wide outage. If they are not back online by 4:30 central time today. We will wait until tomorrow to start registration.

I'll advise when we have a status change.
That's in half an hour... if AuthorizeNet isn't back online by then, it's back to it tomorrow. And if that happens, hopefully it means first thing in the morning for them (which is midnight for us, and an "early" night).

No word on them splitting registration, so anyone wanting a non-attendee set, you'd better hop on as well when it starts.
