Well Wishes II

We've had heaps of messages flood in from all over the place, here are a few reprinted with names taken out to protect the innocent:

just read your statement here > http://zine.dal.net/situation.php
and it inspired me to drop you an email in a show of support. I want you to know that I have used Dalnet since 1995 and will continue to do so once it is back up again. I will always remain loyal to Dalnet, its been there through all the good, great and even the sometimes bad times and I feel very deeply 'part of' the whole Dalnet scene.

I feel disgusted that someone somewhere unleased these non stop DDoS attacks on your servers, I'm sure that even now, they must feel guilty, guilty as hell.

I hope that you and your team will keep your heads high, keep smiling, keep realising that the Dalnet users really are out there thinking about you guys, we are waiting, we are patient, we are considerate and we are going to wait for as long as it takes. You cannot create something on the internet and then wake up some morning to find that it is extinct, things evolve.....

I am waiting for Dalnet to come back :-)
Thanks for keeping the spirits up,

I know a lot of people are anxious to get back and some/most are just upset right now that they can't connect but I think you all should try and see that as a compliment somehow. If DALnet wasn't a good place for them to come on to and chat then they wouldn't be so upset and would just pick the next one out of the list. Other then that a lot of people do understand as well and we're keeping our fingers crossed for all of you and are waiting for the happy ending to this tragedy. :)

I don't wish to keep you with a long email but I've been trying to send some "well wishes" on the DALnet website. Seems I am having problems that way... so I'm trying the "direct method". Hope you don't mind.

I've been a part of DALnet since February 1996, under the nick Prrkitty. I hope to not loose nor leave DALnet - EVER!!

Good luck with everything... I hope it all works itself out soon. All of us are pulling for DALnet and everyone and if there's anything we can do... don't hesitate to contact us.

We the users of dal.net should be thanking the admin and staff for their hard work that goes on behind the lil chat windows that we see..I know it is not an easy thing to do being an IRCop, having to deal with rude, impatient people that don't understand...Not something I have the patience for myself..

All my friends and family that use dal.net will be back when everything is back to normal(ok, what really is normal?). and to show our support, we aren't using IRC or going to any other irc network untill our beloved dal.net is back.

I WANT DALnet FOR GOD SAKE
please help, work hard, do your best, whatever, JUST bring MY DALnet back to me

---

We all know about the horrible attacks that's been going on all over the network.

All I can say, is that it's not DALnet's fault that it's getting attacked.

All those rumors I hear everyday about DALnet closing, etc. It's just plain rumors, don't believe in what you hear. I know that the DALnet staff is working really hard to please their proud users.

All I want to say is thank you to the DALnet staff for opening a new door in my life. I first came to DALnet in 1998. Okay I was a lamer but we're all new at some stage. Thanks to DALnet I've found so many friends, that I also talk with on the phone, I exchange "snailmail" with them, and so on. I could mention a thousand of different things that's good with DALnet, so please, don't blaim DALnet for being under attack. They've done so much for all of us, they don't deserve the bad rumors and a bad persons mouth.
---

While I know there is nothing that I, personally can do to halt the attacks from these insufferable souls, I still would like to impart my support to the network.

DALnet has been the ONLY network on mIRC that I have flown to for every chat reason I've had.. be it a need for friendship, support, humor, or sharing a gleeful moment in life, everything has been there for me, and I've been there for everybody else who has had the same situation.

In a sense, this "cyber-community" has its own people, and as far as I'm concerned, DALnet is in the same situation that NYC was in after 9-11-01. Rudi Giulliani dove into the matter headfirst, and I know all the DALnet administrators are, because, even had there not been a multitude of communities at stake, as far as the administrators are concerned, it's as though their own personas are being attacked.

In the end of it, I will never, and shall never abandon the family that I have made on DALnet. No matter what sort of phreak attempts to attack it, at least in my mind, we stand as does the flag.. and these colors never run.

Hello a very tough time to DALnet i am very depressed from DALnet attacks best wishes to DALnet to be run again and more and more people will be around at DALnet and it will be .
---

I saw your response on IRCJunkie. I look forward to you folks opening up again (and hopefully soon).

---

I'm DALnet user since 1997 and it's really a great network. I have a lot of friends. Well, when the network is done I come back immediately...I hope really this situation is done quickly,

Long life to DALnet :-)
---

I'm another one who is simply waiting it out, not smart enough to be of any help--but still trying dalnet every night for fifteen minutes or so before going to irc-chat.net.

Their Services conventions really don't mesh with my ircle, though. Please don't "improve" things too much during the duration! ;^)

I'll be back home, whenever. God be with you all who can do anything.

---

First of all i want to say that i'm a loyal dalnet user, and i will be back just as soon as you guys are up and running again.:) Good luck guys, go get the *******, there are a lot of us out here supporting you
