Hello Everybody,
After some careful thinking about OpenNIC's goals, the direction it seems to be taking (or not taking, as the case may be), the lack of organisation and
actual stuff happening, as well as the intent to centralise all domain and user data, for a system that is supposed to thrive on decentralisation, I
have decided I must bow out.

I will be closing down .OZ after the 2 and a bit years of maintaining and supporting it. If anyone wishes to continue with it, I can provide you with a
simple database file (or even an SQL dump) containing member usernames, their email address, their domain as well as the nameservers they used. This
will include their MD5'ed password hash as well upon request, but it might be easier to just reset them.

I will still be subscribed to this list for as long as I can maintain interest, but I will no longer be an active member or contributor here. The public
domain articles I wrote will remain where they are, for anyone to use, but I probably wont be writing anymore.

I just can't see any progress happening and it all seems rather stagnant. I'd hate for this project to turn into a non-productive exercise for all
concerned, but it just looks so much like it that I find it hard to describe it any other way. Peter Green was right about that.

Yes Jeff, this is why I haven't updated the files. I am also tired of the outdated information throughout the wiki, even other members here have
complained about the iptables stuff not working (which I could confirm), the updater scripts being out of date, an immense feeling of Not Invented Here
syndrome amongst many members with regards to software (so much wasted duplication) and everyone seeming to have their own toys and not wanting to play
with others.

So, let me know if anyone wants to take over .OZ. I have two backups that I will merge together upon request.

Well, it has been interesting, frustrating and sometimes even fun. But I bow out.

Thanks for reading.

Martin C.
