||||||
|
A version of the pubgrid existed until some time in 2012, when the introducer was lost. In February of 2013, a new introducer was created, resulting in a change of furl.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is an interesting philosophical question as to whether the pubgrid with the new introducer is a different grid or not. If servers that had been connecting to the new introducer are repointed to the new introducer, it can be considered the same grid with a change of introducer, with the property that files from the old grid may still be accessible.
