Announcements

Jan 22, 2012 Grex Is Online with New Hardware! Thanks to a generous donation by John Remmers, Grex is up and running again. Our old hardware, installed in April of 2003, needed more work than we had time to devote to it (it may still be fixed, but for other purposes).

Oct 20, 2011 Locked out of your Grex account? Send a password reset request to help@grex.org. Since the upgrades we've seen a lot of users unable to log in for this reason. It was not intentional.
