  • RC-11 is being replaced

    From Atreyu@21:1/176 to All on Thu Mar 26 19:35:30 2020
    Normally I wouldn't share Fido stuff in an Othernet, but if you currently reside in what is known as "region 11", IL, IN, KY, MI, OH, WI... this will shed some light as to the current situation if you are having troubles obtaining a node number in that area:

    Hi everyone,

    I have not been able to communicate with RJ Clay for a now more-than-reasonable amount of time via various contact info that was
    submitted my way, nor replies to my now more-than-reasonable amount of
    emails. So unfortunately, RC-11 will now remain "vacant" for the time being. Netmails host-routed for Region 11 will stop here on Hold status. As RJ was also interim NC for Nets 120, 220 and 2320, those spots are also vacant now.

    If you are in need of a Fidonet nodelisting in that area, please contact me directly via Netmail or email, nandre -at- net229 -dot- org

    Most important thing is to keep the idea of geographical regions alive. This
    how fidonet always worked. No? There were no mandatory geographical regions
    the beginning? Anyway, it is in the POLICY and there is no way to change it

    I get all warm-n-fuzzy when you write the word policy in all uppercase... as
    if to assert your superior knowledge over that clueless redneck dumbass ZC1. I assume this is for me not taking your troll-bait in FSX_GEN some time ago.

    Its really nice and pretty to have geographical regions to seperate nets into, but the vanity has long faded and the RC position is that of a traffic-cone. Its just there to direct people where to be listed. In a perfect world, that RC is supposed to send me segment updates for all the subsequent Nets. Run a somewhat reliable system and be courteous enough to let me know whats going on if theres a problem. That would be a technically-competent person in my eyes.

    If a technically-competent person cannot be found to be RC, the region can
    be merged with another. There is no gun to my head that I must keep ten different RC's in the zone 1 segment. The RC assignment or removal has no technical impact on a Sysop's node number. If other RC's agree then its done.
