Online.no cluster delinking

Posted by meeb on Tuesday 15 November 2005

As some of you may have noticed today, the online.no cluster was taken offline.

Online.no has sadly decided to withdraw its support from QuakeNet after over 6 years of excellent service. We thank Online.no for their sponsorship over the past years and their contribution to developing QuakeNet into what it is today, and wish them all the best in the future.

While we look at replacing the lost capacity Online.no leaving causes (the Online.no cluster hosted between 12000 and 26000 users on average), we would advise users to connect to the next closest clusters, port80.se.quakenet.org and wineasy.se.quakenet.org.

Thanks, and remember to drink your milk.

Thanks to Starc and the crew behind him for providing us 6 years of great service.

I am not surprised by their decision. Nothing ever happens on Quakenet except a few minor, not very interesting interviews and a few useless tutorials. The site has been in development for so many years now, and still there is nothing on it that really works (in reference to the channel management)... maybe they should start having more stuff and a few cool events..

Sad to see online go, but hey, irc has never been a profiting or commercial thing. But to answer Scope|SwaT: I don\'t think you can measure irc communities from the events they have. More from the number of active users ;)

Too bad. Now the swedish servers port80 and wineasy will be totally full and we \"swedes\" have to use like a brittish server which will cause them to use a france server and so on :)
