Albasani suffered when its founder and admin, Alexander Bartolich 
(sp?) died young from a heart attack and his volunteer replacement
lacked the expertise to recover it after a crash.  
  
Weren't Mike's servers running on his employers machines?  I've an 
idea that RFN, his text server, was still running there after Mike 
left their employment.  I don't know this to be a fact, only rumour.  
Anyway, I heard that RFN was knocked over by a DDOS attack after 
Mike left and there was nobody with access to pick it up again.
