    point...

    Steve shutdown port 119 on September 24 last year, ergo we can't send him feeds, rather than tell us (or respond to emails) he's had enough, he's
    just done a Paolo, and yes he is still alive and kicking, can be seen on certain technical forums.

    Nobody should be using mixmin by now, and anyone with half a clue should
    know it wont be back.

    (even if he did want to return, because of his actions, he may find it
    hard to get peering again, we wont be feeding him thats for sure)

    Unfortunately, Cleanfeed and PyClean no longer have an active maintainer too...

    The main page has also been shut down!

    Only the GitHub repositories are still available:
