Galaxynet, a dead net?

The other day, my brother was messing around, trying to find a mp3. So, I decided to mess around in Galaxynet, since I used that 5 years ago to obtain my songs.

To my surprise, the entire Galaxynet is almost dead.

#Coralsec is dead, #1987 is dead. Most, if not all, of those channels which I had access 5 years ago is gone.

So, what happened to the server which Singaporeans frequent in the past? #1987 had around 300 people at anytime which I joined in the past, #Coralsec was absolutely dead, with Q (Service admin bot) no where to be seen. On the main list, there are barely any channel which has over 100 users.

So, unless there's a secret channel with over 4000 users in it, Galaxynet is somewhat dead.

While I can not be sure, I can only guess the reason: It's illegal to allow others to download songs from you, i.e. Fserve.

With other services out there these days (Limewire, Morpheus, BitTorrent), it's no wonder that people have no need of servers. In fact, since it's against the law to even serve files, many has found it unnecessary to remain on a server which does not allow people to serve.

But then, what happened to those chatters?

Good question. I have no answer to that as well. Galaxynet used to be a place where people can get blowjobs, or sex, or whatever, IIRC, and from what's reported in the papers. I guess everyone has moved house. *shugs*

Or maybe the network decided to remove such nonsense by crushing them. However, the last time I've heard, the servers have no right to prevent what we say, unless we are spamming something.

Or maybe, there are other services out there, such as MSN. IRC was used to chat with people, plenty of people, in the past. However, as many would have noticed, those you chat with are either total morons, or people who you actually know. With advancements in technology, particularly MSN, where you can annoy the hell out of people who have no idea how to turn off the "nudge" option, you can safely chat with your friends, who are not retards and ask for sex after 20 minutes of chat. If you wish to meet new people, online isn't exactly the way to do it, especially via IRC. Heck, with so many games which enables players from all over the world to play against or with each other, you can easily meet new people online everyday. In fact, you don't need to go through the usual boredom of "Hi. A/s/l?" when trying to start a chat. Just go "Hey, ty for that save just now". Boom, you can probably have a new friend in minutes, with the help of friend list and stuff. In fact, when you join groups of people to powerplay others, such as joining a guild or something, you can easily make new friends daily, as long as someone joins daily. LoL.

IRC = a thing of the past.

Yet, perhaps, with Fservers around, you can get more people.

Just look at Rizon. It's a huge network with thousands of users at any one time. Heck, there are channels with around 4000 people in them. #Nipponsei, one of my favourite channels, has plenty of people chatting in it at any one time, basically a channel where people talk trash (And to obtain stuff).

So, Fserves could mean that people would be around a channel, since most servers demand that you stay in channel while downloading. So, while waiting, someone speaks something interesting, and whoa, you have a chat going.

Fserves = Chat?

Hmm...

I think it's time I am honest with myself.

Song of (whatever) changed to Finale, by Masashi Hamauzu, from the Musashiden II BLADEMASTER Original Sound Track, a new game from Square-Enix. I was holding out for vestige, but it only comes out on the 17th, not the 10th.
