I also carry WhisperNet, and I've noticed my system has been unable to connect to his too.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.. I thought I was missing something lol

No, but I can say that cr1mson is not currently polling for Zone 21 games packets and it's been over a month now since I have seen polling
activity from him :(

Thanks Avon, appreciate the info.. HOpefully he will be back soon enough...

I dropped that network from my board several years ago, for that exact reason. Got tired of the non-connects, non-communication from him, and general sloppy operation of a (dead) network.

Thanks for the info Gamgee...

No probs, yep I hope the same. There's certainly a pattern of this happening ;-)

Anyone else here carry this network?? I haven't been able to connect to my
Hub, Vintage BBS now for over a month.. Anyone heard from cr1mson???

I dropped that network from my board several years ago, for that exact reason. Got tired of the non-connects, non-communication from him, and general sloppy operation of a (dead) network.

I've done the same. I re-added his network a while ago when he
sent me an email about it, but I've noticed I don't seem to be
able to connect. I might just remove his network again. It
would be good if he'd at least send some notice before he shut
his system(s) down..

He has a long history of that behavior, and of not giving any valid explanation when he does decide to show up again.

He's been down for a number of weeks on the FidoNet side; seems his
multiple domain names have all expired.

Ditched it ages ago when I found myself, yet again, unsubscribed from
all the groups. Stick a fork in this one.

I left that network a long time ago as well, but every now & then I'll see his system trying to crash whispernet mail to me in the logs, even though I unsubscribed from all of the echos and sent him a netmail and email saying I'm quitting the network.
