I'm pulling the listing about 8 months before the server is going away,
but I'm hoping that anyone using my server would also be using other
servers and keeping an eye on the T2s they are using.

However, the idea of having the server resolve all queries to a page
saying something like "you are using an Opennic server that is being
retired, please change your server or contact your network
administrator" is a good idea. Closer to the time I'll set this up,
having an IP address that we all could use for this would be a bonus, if
someone has a spare IP or default vhost that could be used for this
purpose it could also be documented on the wiki too.
