Methlabs.org and PeerGuardian Developers In Exile

The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team have been forced out of their website following a series of threats and incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of the website’s assets, eventually claiming control over the entire group and locking out the majority of staff.

This really blows! On the internet, trust is everything. Trust between developers and users. Trust between server and client. Trust between developers. What ircks me most is that until the devs get back in swing of things, there will be no way to reliably update my blocklists. This totally blows.

UPDATE: Thanks to Bluetack, makers of Protowall, we will be able to update our lists. Thanks Cory for the link!
