Ghostnetwork Welcomes Sysnode!
For over a decade both networks have existed as seperate entities and we are pleased to announce that we have combined our resources to further benefit YOU our users.
The two networks can be accessed in the same manner as you always have irc.sysnode.org and irc.ghostnetwork.org so that your preforms will still work as they always have.
As of right now there is no round robin support, but we are planning on ways to enable that function.
As far as Services goes we are using Ghostnetworks' so Sysnode users will have to register with the new services.
Why the big change now?
The answer is simple: Since the beginnings of both networks were so close to one another neither networks felt a joint effort was needed even though quite a few of the users used the same two networks we enjoied our independence from one another. There has never been any ill feelings between the two and it is not the case of one of the networks was dying and needed to be absorbed by the other. We just felt now was a good time to combine due to fact that one of the networks had lost some of their resources and there was no sense in starting from fresh when so many users were already registered with the other it was just best to use what existed instead of making more work for the users. For years many users have voiced their opinion that both should be combined and so we have finally went with it. Another benefit to the change is that now there is more administration and technical support to help take the load off the existing admins and techs so that we can make better improvements to serve you better.
Does one of the networks have more control over the other?
Ofcourse not!! We have been working together for years already and have supported one another in any way we can and will continue to do so in the future.
Is this a permanent or temporary merger?
Time will only tell the answer to that question. As I stated before both networks enjoyed their independence and may wish to part in the future. This is why having seperate dns and network id's is still in effect.
