Server Shutdowns

[Peace-=Of-God=-]

  After long and careful consideration, I have come to the sad conclusion that it is time to close our 18-slot Honor and 12-slot non-Honor servers, effective immediately. Over the last two months, there has been almost zero activity on #1 and absolute zero activity on #3; it's not worth spending God's money on servers that aren't being used.

  Server #2 (12-slot Honor) will remain open for the time being, as that one still gets a few people playing on it just about every day. Also, the Ventrilo server will remain open, so that our weekly Bible studies can continue as they have each Thursday night . In the interest of continuity, server #2 will remain named "#2 House-=Of-God=-" ... the Vent server will be renamed to "#1 House-=Of-God=-" to keep that designation legitimate .

  Thank you all for your support for our servers over the last 6+ years; we'll continue to keep things going as long as we can -- which, with only the Vent and #2 servers, could be as much as another 20 months or so, even without further donations ... so we're not going away yet, even though activity has slacked off in recent months ... the heart of our clan still lives on, especially on Thursday nights .

Fully support this move. It is unfortunate but a reflection of reality... Thanks for your continued dedication as our leader, your efforts continue to be very much appreciated.

Yes, I am glad the tough but necessary decision was made. Perhaps the Lord has a slightly-modified mission in store for this ministry? I don't know, but AA does seem to be dissipating. God knows. Perhaps He will direct the clan in some way towards further internet-based ministry (or ministries).
