Re: Re: Info on GatorNet?
By: Robert Stinnett to Nigel Reed on Wed Apr 10 2019 12:25 pm

one goes smooth sailing, I'll see about starting the process of
getting GatorNet FTN (as it appears to be) set up.

Sure. Look forward to having another node join our happy crowd.

Is Gatornet still alive? Seems the flow of messages has stopped :-(

Lets make some NOISE then!

Well, 1. The network owner has to keep his hub up and running and 2. Be responsive when it's down and people send multiple emails about it only to be ignored. I was about to drop the network at the end of the month if Gert
wasn't able to help out.

Besides emailing Kris Jones, I also emailed Gert Kofoed Andersen, about
the status of networks they were supposedly running. I have not heard a
reply from either of them.

While I have autoposts in selected echoes on various subjects, it'd be
nice to have some activity.

I tried emailing Gert about something else and heard nothing. I then spoke to someone who told me to speak to someone else who got in touch with Gert, then
I asked him about Kris and didn't hear anything back but all of a sudden
things started to connect and it look a rescan was automatically done and I
had a flood of old messages.

Maybe it'll stay up, maybe not. If it goes down for more than a week then I'm going to delete the network and suggest everyone else does the same and put it out of its misery. I'm all for keeping networks going, but it needs buy in
from the owner.

I know Gert has had health issues in the past...for that matter, all of
us have to deal with that.

You have a valid point. While I do have autoposts, I would like to do
like these messages via QWK Mail, where the content isn't "the same old
same old".

Still no news from Kris? Still no new nodes...still don't know the validity of this network any more. I wish someone (not me) would take over.

Not a word. I've sent email and netmail.

While I have plenty on my plate right now, I'd like to keep the network going...but I've never had experience as a Network Coordinator, making nodelists, etc. So, I'd need help with that...but Kris has all the files
right now. I guess if I were to do it, I'd have to start stuff from
scratch.

To be honest, I was expecting Gert to make take it over and add to his growing list of dead networks he keeps alive. :)

I understand he had some health issues in recent years that kept him
offline (don't we all??!!). But, it's rare I see him in the echoes.
