You couldn't fluster a gay man with tonsillitis on Valentine's Day,
Paul. Even that Transqueer Jen in AC has better replies than you.

Must I have Checky post the MID with proof that you, Kensi, and Paul
Derbyshire are the same person? Everyone on Usenet knows it, Paul.

You're a God forsaken fat faggot from Pembroke. We have all seen your
picture, and you're fatter now. We can see you on Google Earth looking
like a map pin. So take your stupid fat busted ass on out of here.

I know this is an old message to reply to, but I just saw it so why not.

I'm the admin of Rocksolid, etc. When you posted this I was in a medically induced coma following a major surgery that was preceded by another major surgery, followed by 8 months of chemotherapy. There were several months where I could do nothing to administrate anything. (There were weeks that I have no memory of at all).

I assume whatever the issue was with the servers resolved itself, as people have been using them since.

I'm good, thx :) Last test (biopsy) about 10 days ago said negative and I feel pretty good. It's a crazy way to retire early, lol. Note to everyone, you really don't want pancreatic cancer, find something better to have :)

I've thought for a while to post something in advance in case I disappear forever so people know to not expect any further administration and when I saw this post I figured, why not just reply here.

Anyway, if all continues as it's going, I may be around for a while longer just to create software bugs and the occasional false positive nocem :)

Yep. Tough to login to your computer to compose an announcement of your
death after getting squashed by a semi, drowned at sea by the Perfect
Storm, or zapped to a crispy walking dead by lightning.

Other causes can be disinterest, getting busy with real life, operator
disappeared (moved, kidnapped, disappeared behind the Great Firewall),
ran out of money for his altruistic ventures, served an NSL but decided
to quit rather than lie to users about logging, or a disability that
prevents doing much of anything.

The owner of Spamgourmet (Josh) had a debilitating disease that made it
harder and harder to work on his anonymizing e-mail service until he got
hospitalized during which his son tried to take over. The son (Josiah)
was woefully unprepared for the task, did an unnecessary update that
killed some features of the service, would announce only in the web
forums but never participated there to see problem reports, and the son
eventually gave up. It wasn't his hobby or personal project, anyway.
He did it to help Dad. Dad died.

Son gave up on Spamgourmet. Spamgourmet became a zombied service: works
a little bit, but too crippled and unreliable. I had to find something
else that was similar (an aliasing e-mail service, not just an e-mail
forwarding service), and found AnonAddy.

I remember using Albasani until that operator died. See:
http://al.howardknight.net/?STYPE=msgid&MSGI=%3C1kn498q.o2v802173ewlcN%25board%40big-8.org%3E
Someone (don't remember who) picked up the tab (effort & money) for a
while to keep albasani.net alive, but it eventually died, too.

Did anyone figure out for sure why AIOE died back around February 2023?

Thanks all. Glad to be part of Usenet again!

Rumors of the death of the operator exist, although no "official"
confirmation.
Because no news from the operator occured, I think the death theory
might be realistic.

I spoke with Paolo Amoroso (aioe admin) at one time, concerned about the
disappearance of aioe. He was seriously ill. He never responded to my
followup email.

I also found this thread (sorry for linking to GG):

https://groups.google.com/g/eternal-september.support/c/ElendPvKyx4

Note that there's another Paolo Amoroso on the Usenet who has nothing to
do with aioe.
