Although not yet definite, I am likely switching ISPs starting next Friday. It is my intent to keep the Comcast account active for about 4 weeks as a fall-back if the new ISP doesn't work out.
However, this means antidrug.cf will be moving, and at some point after I shut down the account the web hosting will become inactive. It also means that eventually someone else might get assigned the same username. This person could possibly pick up on the fact that their account is being accessed by auto-updaters and attempt to publish a rule file of a hostile nature (ie: beneficial to spammers, or attempting to exploit the rule parser). So, here's your first (of 3) warning to disable RDJ for antidrug until the move is completed. (If you have SA 3.0.0 or higher you shouldn't be using antidrug.cf anyway). I will post another warning 2 weeks before I disconnect the account. By that time I should also have the new home for antidrug set up and will post that link. At 1 week prior, I will post a third warning, and change the file to a file that will cause errors when loaded into SA and contain warning text telling them what's going on. I know it's not very nice, but RDJ should roll the file back just fine, and I really want to make sure folks know to stop auto-updating. I'm significantly more concerned about leaving folks vulnerable to an untrusted person adding hostile rules to their config than any chance of RDJ screwing up the roll-back. (For reference, I'm switching to Verizon FIOS. FIOS is the only other practical service available at my address besides Comcast cable. Satellite, dialup or 640k DSL with twice-daily service outages due to poor line quality are also options, but all impractical. And yes, I know Verizon is a bunch of evil, greedy bastards with horrible customer service, loads of spambots on their lines, and a tendency to spam their own customers. All of the same is true of Comcast, and at least Verizon is a bit cheaper and possibly less prone to 2-week outages following thunderstorms.)
