DALnet's nightmare keeps getting worse as the beleaguered network the typhoon.dal.net hub and its all important twisted.dal.net server in one fell swoop.
The admin of both these servers, frink, delinked them for what two high placed sources at the network are only calling "personal reasons".
frink told IRCNews, "For the past two years I have operated twisted.dal.net, the largest irc clientserver to my knowledge, having held 58391 users at one point. Due to irreconcilable differences of opinion with other DALnet administration, I have decided to discontinue my link to DALnet. I wish DALnet the best of luck in the future."
With all other DALnet servers suffering under the crushing load of its client-base, the loss of twisted could prove to be one of the final nails in the coffin for DALnet - who were the world's largest IRC network as recently as August 15th, 2002. The network has since plummetted to 5th and all indications are that DALnet may be a sinking ship.
"Running a dalnet server hasn't been fun for a long time. And I finally reached a point where it made sense to just stop," said frink.
