On February 10, 2009, our long-time channel manager elm passed away. Elm was the manager of #Help from 2001-2009 and served as a channel operator for many years before. We will miss him.

A Tribute to Elm

Long-time Undernet servers Oslo.NO.EU.Undernet.Org and Oslo2.NO.EU.Undernet.org parted ways with Undernet yesterday. The admins of these servers were well-known in the Undernet community, and their presence will be missed. #Help extends its gratitude for their many years of service!

The TESTLINK period for server Tampa.FL.US.Undernet.org has ended, and the server has been granted a PERMLINK to Undernet. Many thanks to Desync Corporation for their contribution!
