    From Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555 to Dmitry Protasoff on Sunday, February 15, 2026 11:44:49
    Hello Dmitry,

    Friday February 13 2026 15:13, I wrote to you:

    Ah, the information that can be obtained for .eu domains with
    WHOIS protocol is very limited, which is why it wasn't properly
    displayed. Fixed!

    Still missing...

    Yes, it was waiting in the queue for the next test and now it's
    finally there.

    Ah, now vlist.eu is flagged with "Unknown" for the dates...

    magicbbs.eu and theforze.eu are missing.


    Cheers, Michiel

    Hey,

    And in third place: bnbbbs.net with 10 entries. But those are all from one sysop... :-/

    One can never have enough entries in de nodelist, I suppose ...

    Why does Fidonet still need to be "geo" based?

    The pool of available, and capable, Hubs/NC/RCs has deminished over the years, but those that are available and capable are probably sufficient to serve the whole network.

    Hello, Michiel!

    Yes, unfortunately. I (nodelist.fidonet.cc software :) do domain WHOIS lookups only when a node is checked for connectivity, so they should appear after the next scheduled test. The .eu domain fix was applied about 3 days ago.
    Just checked: theforze.eu is already there, magicbbs.eu will be there tomorrow (I hope so).

    Thank you again for the in-depth analysis of the test results! I am too lazy/busy for that :)



    Best regards,
    dp.
