Hello Everyone,
I emailed Dan Smitch about the default ratflector issues and as you
can see below, it's permanently down.? I did confirm that he's
willing to make DNS changes to point ref.d-rats.com to someone
else's static IP address to resume ratflector service but it will be
on that new group to maintain it going forward.
It sounds like Glen might be willing to host this though maybe an
alternative could be found with more reliable services?

No, I don't pay attention to this stuff. It's gone because of upgrades, I didn't even know anyone was using it anymore, but I can't put it back where it was easily.
If someone wants ref.d-rats.com directed to them so they can take its place, they can contact me, otherwise I recommend people just set up and run some alternative.
