Hello Zoltan,

In the last few months the number of requests for trusting hosts with 
more than 5 connections has increased significantly. This has been so 
dramatic that it is now the majority of support questions we get asked 
in both #feds and at info@quakenet.org. 

We are preparing new systems to help us manage this, and discussing 
what reasons justify a trust from us. While we are working on this all 
long term trust adding is being suspended. Trusts for LAN parties and 
other short term events are still available and in exceptional cases, 
such as NAT gateways, we will consider adding a new trust. 

This means that no new trusts will be granted except for LAN parties, 
with no exceptions. 

Regards,
Oli
