Laughing in the face of danger!
The end of an Era!
Stolen-Enterprise is failing under its own weight. The website appears to have fallen beyond repair, the IRC server appears to be offline, and they’ve ditched the SearchIRC robot.
I first started moderating on Stolen-Enterprise back in early 2007. I was quite simply a moderator, with no extra privileges. Over months and months, I was allowed a little more flexibility on the network, but I was still restricted to +o in a single channel. I was then promoted to being in charge of the Radio. I was later “sacked” for my attitude (apparently). This sparked off a new era… Fuzzy-Logic IRC. FLIRC was a single server network which was run by myself and a couple of other users. I had a fairly small userbase with nothing spectacular to provide. Towards the front end of 2008, FLIRC took a major blow. The whole network was sent down, websites deleted, both public and private. The only information I could get about them, was a single IP address. This turned out to be a Three Mobile IP, which are not traceable (at the moment).
FLIRC was over. Stolen-Enterprise was slowly coming back to its former glory. I was later approached by FSIRC if I wanted to join their network. How could I refuse an offer like this?! 12 months on, and Stolen-Enteprise is failing. Aversion has become to greedy and careless that he’s let his own network fall under its own corruption!

Good thing I didn’t join them in the end. Morals aren’t only there to con us out of opportunity then, they sometimes give us new opportunities – I guess.

Sadly our ‘real lives’ took over and none of us had time to continue with the website or server.
The end of a long hobby! Not the first time it has gone offline, been resurrected a few times.. watch this space

Maybe pull a Blaster next time? Rather than doing what you did last time – try this:
* Make the service as a [closed|closet] experiment before releasing it to the public
* Get loads of staff to run it with minimal interference or effort
* Feel free to slack off and let real life run the show!
It’s the substance of epic win…

Yeah – a few people want it back online, and I now have permission from my girlfriend to spend a couple of days getting it back online.
Maybe I will take your advice Martyn
