I most somewhat agree with this.
it does seem a little "convinient" right now.
I have not yet voted, I am listening in on peoples oppinions, but I've pretty 
much settled my vote, and I'm not afraid to make it a public one.

I don't think this server should be linked. It got issues.
There is some personal issues for me involved as well, but those I do not wish 
to dicuss here.

IF he really wants to join our network, then move the server as planned, wait 
30 days, and re-apply. Easy and simple.

I've been quite passive in this, I haven't had much to say, just listening to 
everyone. But I think we have reached the end now, and this is my 5 cents.
