   On October 8th [1]porkchop.dk.eu.blitzed.org will be delinked from
   Blitzed.

   In a message to fellow admins, [2]Tekken states:

     It is with sadness I have to write this mail. Porkchop will have to
     be shut down some time in October. There are two reasons for this;

     First thing is that I've bought a new apartment and therefore
     moving to another address which will cause me to get a new internet
     connection and most likely a new IP address, which again will
     result in a new test link.

     Second thing is that I'll start studying again - actually tomorrow
     evening. I'm taking something called HD which is equivalent to a
     college degree in corporate economics and later specialisation in a
     corporate area like organisational structure, logistics etc. (Tux:
     correct me if I'm wrong). The lessons is Monday and Wednesday
     evenings from 17.30 to 21.00 and the other evenings will most
     likely be used to study. Besides this education I'll have my 40 -
     50 hours a week at work.

     I would still like to see a Danish server for all the Danish users
     (which currently amounts to around 100 users), and I've been
     speaking with Hjorth who applied earlier this month. He'll have the
     100 mbit connection up and running very soon, so I'd like to
     recommend that we give Hjorth and his server a chance. I'll help
     him administering it in the beginning, but other than that he knows
     his way around FreeBSD and IRC already. He will of course have to
     go through the normal application and test period if you allow this
     server. This is just a recomendation from me.

     Kind regards,
     Tekken
