Hi daal,
Indeed we worked together for ASR. You did show me the ropes back in the days. Good times we had.
You are right that ASR itself is a great thing for go community.
Sadly, I have to say that one of the new ASR admins is a well know spammer on reddit who was banned from OGS ( see comments on reddit here for instance).

On top of that, they tend not to answer their own forum now. They basicly post news there.
As I already said, they even deleted my comments on ASR website and never explained me why (they don't answer email).

So yes, they are busy for sure, but I think the community part of ASR has changed at least.

Hi Climu,

Yeah, I understand the complaints. I just wanted to point out that the asr is a service and although it is being run by people who have been making questionable choices, it is still a good resource for go players. I was sorry to hear about how your stay there ended, but so far running the ASR has proved to be too much work for every person who has tried to do it, and presumably the current admins won't stay there forever either.

Greetings,

Patience, grasshopper.
