It would be cool if we could come up with ideas to revive things here...
I  wish we had more regular meetings to continue discussing issues such
as  this.

cross, could this have anything to do with your extremely restrictive default
shell?

is there actually any effective way for users to get a functional shell?

resp:5 Numbers were way down before I put that in; they've been
that way for the last couple of years.

If you want to complain about the restricted shell, I ask you: Would
you prefer to have Chad and others routinely taking Grex down for
a week at a time?

resp:6 There are some fairly detailed instructions in the staff
conference.

Of course I wouldn't prefer that, but the choice isn't one or the other.  Why
can't we have it so Grex will provide access upon receipt of a token monetary
sum?  Why can't we have a group of trusted users who are able to ban any
addresses cdalten might use?  Why can't we have a system where people are
actually able to be validated and get access?  Why can't there be a shell
that, at the very least, is a lot less restrictive than essentially useless
default?
