for now, yes, ancardia.ath.cx is dead indefinitely.
As for a replacement server:
Problem with that, see, is that nobody knows for absolute sure what jaakkos wants
regarding his server code distribution. We have a copy of it, and there is even reason
to believe it is open source, as he once gave us all access to a git repository which
held the server code (at least, I *THINK* it held the server code). If we continue to
not hear from jaakkos for a long time, I think it is probable that his code will be
implemented on another server.
