- Enjoy playing and kibitzing on IGS? Yes! IGS is a wonderful place for go
- fans from all over the world to play Go and to meet new friends. This
- wonderful place will be GONE very soon if we don't do anything. Why? The
- root on 128.32.201.46 decided to shut down IGS in three weeks :-( :-(
- because some bad potatoes abuse the IGS too much. They sent too many junk
- emails to root to complain everything on IGS that make root mad and some
- people used obscene language to harass other players. Most of us think IGS
- is guaranteed, but it isn't. IGS' managers work for it voluntarily. They
- got very few thanks but lots of trouble. Even they find a new site for IGS,
- the problems still exist. Let's work together to save IGS (if we can).
-
- 1) Behave oneself (Okay, It doesn't work for some people.:-)) ;
- 2) Registration (It may cause extra work for system managers) ;
- 3) ......
-
- Please make your suggestion/contribution to save IGS. We can send our
- discussion to system managers. Hope that will help us to have a clean
- IGS.
-
- BTW, don't send any email to root.
