   At around 19:43 BST our primary European hub
   tabasco.hub.eu.blitzed.org was taken offline for a hardware upgrade,
   this resulted in a large unavoiable netsplit.

   Unfortunately there will be another large netsplit sometime tomorrow.
   Our long standing and much valued US client/hub
   mango.va.us.blitzed.org is being delinked. To fill the void the US
   client server syrup.on.ca.blitzed.org has been moved to another
   upstream network provider as a hub only server
   syrup.hub.ca.blitzed.org, and a new client/hub
   texmex.tx.us.blitzed.org has been linked.

   As of now texmex.tx.blitzed.org and syrup.hub.ca.blitzed.org are
   beginning their 30 day testlink. The admin of texmex.tx.us.blitzed.org
   is Antony, he has transferred admin of tabasco.hub.eu.blitzed.org to
   sonorous. syrup.hub.ca.blitzed.org's admin remains to be Fraggle

   Please join us in saying goodbye to Andryan as he leaves the admin
   team with the delink of mango.va.us.blitzed.org as he has a lack of
   time to dedicate to adminning.
