Yes I can see a few more I will likely delist from NET 1 soon, there is a mix of activity with various nodes but when folks depart most don't let you know and it's not until traffic really builds up that you find out. Bit of pain but part of doing the admin roles I guess.. 

 Ac>  A> That makes you older than Jesus :)
 Ac> 
 Ac> Yikes! That one hit kinda hard. ;)

Sorry, no offense intended... just that you've been active in this space far longer than I have... like a wise Jedi, this is the netmail you are looking for...

 Ac> Haven't really been doing much lately besides keeping up with the
 Ac> software I use that is still under development. Other than that, the
 Ac> server machine is still chugging along nicely so there's no reason to
 Ac> make any drastic decisions.

I'm the same, family and work have kept me busy, I would like to create a system/hardware etc. that I could run several things on it at once, BBS HUB, Agency, NNTP server etc... but I lack the skills / knowledge to do it. I have three machines running upstairs that ideally would be (somehow) all running under one system... save some power.. it's the devil in the detail and the mental energy to drive the process that nobble me at the moment.

 Ac> Turned off my plex server VM as we don't use it any more. Also turned
 Ac> off the VM that hosts Mystic for now, just due to lack of development
 Ac> and me not wanting to maintain two BBSs. If g00 ever makes his way back
 Ac> I can easily fire it back up where I left off, on the latest version,
 Ac> with all message and file distribution networks currently disabled.

fair enough, I have not seen / heard from g00 in many months... but I'm not overly as invested in Mystic as I once was either and daily real life stuff has kept my focuses elsewhere also...

 Ac> Call it 'winding down', if you will. ;)

I hope it's not in totally, the scene would be very much the poorer for your departure. I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon but I do find my activity levels are far more variable than they once were. perhaps I'll end up swinging back in to a more active phase over my summer (or not). Guess time will tell.

 Ac> Regards,
 Ac> Nick

Best, Paul
