Direct Connect users are leaving.

OMG.
I see tremendous daily user loss on the dc network.

From 20.000 user hubs in early 80's we are officially down to 10x less in 2021, with very few hubs exceeding 2000 users.
Moreover recent totals in users on the network is in 20.000 range.
This much was once all in one hub out of 3000.
Sadly DC is vanishing fast.

Rest In Peace.

Yes. Its a continuous trend since 90's. Bit torrent and law enforcement in multiple european countries ruined it.

Thanx IDIOTS!

Well, look!
It was a hobby project at first.
Never planned to become viral like it did and used globally.
It did, and it survived like 3 decades? In fact its still going.
OMG! In tech word that is a LOT!
