His bink has been down since about the 27th but the network has been down much longer than that.  I was still able to poll his system and send him ping netmails, but would never get anything back.  (From any of his addresses).

What's funny is his backend systems were still compiling new nodelists and making them available on his website, but they weren't flowing via the ftn.

Then his SSL certificate expired, but I was able to click past that.  Now his website is completely down as well.  (scinet-ftn.org)

My plan would be to export messages to both deon & Frank's system.  If he stays offline for an extended period I'd revisit that.  As you said, messages don't take up that much space by today's standards.
