  37 Hi, all.
  38
  39 Just a gentle reminder, please refrain from associating The EsperNet IRC
  40 Network and the EsperNet name with the Services for IRC Networks code.  We
  41 are not in any way, shape, or form associated with the development of this
  42 software other than we are the first, and like you folks on this list,
  43 very satisfied users of this software.
  44
  45 The software's original author, Andrew Church, and I happen to also be
  46 EsperNet's co-founders, and thus we are the very first to use this
  47 software.
  48
  49 However, as I have mentioned once before, this association has led many
  50 people to wander into #dragonweyr, our official help channel, to get
  51 technical support for the software.
  52
  53 Don't get me wrong; we appreciate the recognition. But the staff in there
  54 are IRC operators, many of which know little to nothing about C, RFC
  55 1459's intricacies, or even UNIX.
  56
  57 We have stated in our topic that #dragonweyr is -NOT- for help with
  58 Services for IRC Networks, but help for EsperNet's users.  Many people
  59 either don't pay close enough attention and ask anyway or obstinately
  60 mitigate their question by stating that it is operational in nature and
  61 therefore does not deal with the code directly.  This is analogous to
  62 giving help for DALnet, GalaxyChat, whatever, in EsperNet's own official
  63 channel.
  64
  65 Andrew (Kempe or Church, either of ya can help me with this one):  What's
  66 the &quot;official&quot; website/distribution point(s) for Services nowadays?  That
  67 way we can update EsperNet's page to make sure people are pointed in the
  68 right direction.  Right now, I have people heading for
  69 <A HREF="http://achurch.dragonfire.net/services">http://achurch.dragonfire.net/services</A> for the website, though I'm not
  70 sure if this is still considered the software's &quot;official&quot; site.
  71
  72 Thank you all for your co-operation and for helping to make the software
  73 what it is today. :)
