It’s located in Denver, but Colin had a good suggestion to have everyone run a reduced exit policy for now until things cool down a little, and the provider seemed to cool down their stance after I approached them with that idea and stated that they just wanted the flood of abuse emails to stop, and even suggested that I reach out to the copyright holders and try to get them to contact me directly, since the IPs are SWIPped to me and that is the proper procedure anyway. So, the new colo stays alive for now…. I’ll let things cool down for a bit then we’ll open the exit policies back up and see where things go from there.
