Hi all,

Long time no posting for me too, this is just going to be another 
agreement. I've never seen a message from an IRTC admin in the news, so 
don't expect any answer here.

Also they have never shown any interest for help proposals from anyone. 
When I made the IRTC stats site ( http://exether.free.fr/irtc/ ) and 
proposed my help to automate a few things on the official web site, I 
hardly had a short message showing NO interest at all in my work.

Concerning participation, you can see there ( 
http://exether.free.fr/irtc/index.php?sub=graph&lang=fr ) that it has 
been decreasing since a long time.

I think a solution would be to create a functional IRTC site and then 
'force' the admins to hand over. I don't understand why they want to 
remain in history as the creators of a dead competition when there is so 
many people wanting to take the lead.

Have a good day ! :-)

JC
