I've just put mine back up again and although I don't have tons of doors on it, I think perhaps they take it down because they have a problem dealing with the disapointment of not having users flocking in, or they have a crash, or something. Or they just downloaded it, tried it, and got frustrated with setting it up, although Synch is great since it almost runs completely out-of-the-box. I'da'know. --- þ Synchronet þ Greenwood, Lake Placid, NY, telnet://greenwoodbbs.dyndns.org .
