I noticed that the [htpdate server](https://www.vervest.org/htp/) is about to be retired:

[https://www.ntppool.org/scores/2a10:3781:22f9:1::123](https://www.ntppool.org/scores/2a10:3781:22f9:1::123)

Is there anyone here who knows about this and would like to comment?

Never heard of this protocol. Might be an interesting read. Isn’t there a way to contact the webmaster to learn why this server is leaving the pool?

Apparently his name is Eddy Ververst:  
(I’ll send hime a message)

**UPDATE** : the server is operated from home behind a fixed IP address from Freedom ISP. He’ll me moving soon to another place and will loose that address and isn’t sure if he will bring up a new server, because of other priorities. In a way that’s sad, because this particular pool instance was rather unique, but I get it.
