Despite people posting exactly that, several times, AND having it all detailed in the top post on this thread.

And then, in some sudden miracle, rather than shut up in your ignorance of what's happened, you proclaim to "know" all kinds of things, including:

And you know this how?

I was on Council. I spoke to those at Nokia and at the companies running the servers. I know that before we had step one done on setting up a backup and transition plan, the server shut-off time was set in stone. The date for them to turn off equipment was extended by the company running it because we asked them, politely, and showed we had a plan in place to transition which was already well underway. Had we not, it would have simply been shut off and discarded, like many other services that are now gone (like scrathcbox).

My proof is direct talks with people in Nokia, as one of the contact points with Nokia and the service providers. What's your proof? None. You're full of opinions, and have NO facts to back up anything you're saying, other than your "knowing" things that you clearly have no understanding of.


Tell you what, if you don't like it, we can fix that. We'll just place an IP ban in the firewall for your posting address. That way you can act as if Nokia had just shut everything down, as planned. Then you don't have to worry about us doing you any favors.

As for the mirrors: Those hosting the mirrors right now have limited bandwidth and resources. Handling the small load of users that are being extra careful not to pummel them without need is one thing. Handling everyone in the community for the long haul is quite another. And that's not even counting all the non-community N900 still out there.

I for one haven't switched either of my N900 to the backup repos, because I don't need to. Both are set to do monthly checks, but for now everything I need is on the device. I suspect lots of people in the know still haven't updated to the temp repos yet, because they don't have the need right now and don't want to strain that resource. As they find need, the user resources will likely not be enough.

You're so full of answers for someone who has no idea what's going on. And yet, despite seeming to know it all, you're not willing to do a single thing to help out. No contribution, no thanks, nothing but moaning and whining. There's a word for people like that: Leaches.

Take your self-centered drivel elsewhere. We have work to get done.
