I think you know more than (or as much as) anyone else at this point. Speaking for myself, this is the first I heard about the hardware failure, and it certainly explains a lot about why the network is in the state it's in. All his sites & BBSes have been down for a long time as well.

Bummer.

I checked a several prominent ArakNet nodes, and none of them have a new networked post after June.

I think it's done-zo. :(
