Hi,

I was using the .uts.edu.au ones since the .org ones went down and the uts.edu.au ones were still working. Things are slightly better now I have gone back the other way around.

Which brings me to the larger questions:

Why is the network so broken? The move has been known about for many years, and a room planned/negotiated in the new building since at least 2012. How did the admin/exec fail to move or know when the network was going down?

Why is there so little/no communication of what is going on? Is the (now previous) admin/exec trying to hide things, or are their just unable to inform members of important things like infrastructure movements/upgrades/changes? This is particularly concerning since there was a rushed AGM with a changed constitution where members where unable to communicate about what was happening due to lines of communication being cut.

As far as I could tell the recent actions were (effectively if not outright intended to) done to prevent input from members who were not there, and to stifle discussion.

Regards,
