Quick suggestion on the old NRS nodes/hardfork at 130,000 problem:
Someone (not me) runs the IPs thru WHOIS, and comes up with an e-mail address for the admin of that IP.
Send the admin a mail explaining the situation (stress that the fork could lead to people losing money...slight stretch, but not a complete lie) and ask them to forward the mail to their customer.
This will be harder for nodes on dynamic IPs, but if u specify the correct (GMT) time as well as IP, it should be doable. Fixed IPs will be fairly easy to reach this way, i hope.
Example:
From my active peers,
81.82.248.205 is running 8.12.
81.82.248.205 in WHOIS comes out as:

This is gonna be a lot of boring work, and there are only 3 days to go.....
Luckily, i'm on holiday. Discuss this among yourselves, decide if it's worth doing and, if so, get cracking on it.
