SSC can't do anything ? I'll tell you what they can do: 1. Under the threat of a network ban, and/or loss of network priviledges, demand that all necessary files to clone DSB be given to whoever is up for the task. 2. Give that server the same network access to billing as DSB currently has. This isn't about some hardware and bandwidth bills. The players will be denied access to the settings and the very community that created this zone in the first place. Hoch has alienated all of the devs, there are none left. If he doesn't want to keep going, step down. Of course he wont, just another power tripping sysop looking to take revenge because of his bruised ego. SSC can't take a neutral stance on this.

As a DSB player since 1998, I know this isn't what the zone players want. Even now there are 50+ players in the main pub, and the only reason we're given, is that the sysop wants to end the zone 'on a high note'. There is no real justification for this decicion. If Hoch wants to move on from leading the zone, then give up the sysop position. Ending funding for the server is fine too, DSB will survive without him. Addition: The official DSB forums are undergoing heavy censorship at the moment. Threads with negative comments are being deleted left and right.
