Nym Servers

As well as active Cypherpunks mirrors, have there been many new nym servers
coming into existance?  Most of them seem to have been dying on the vine.

Info on new or existing nym servers appreciated.  (I am not certain in Raph
has been covering them on the remailer list.)

As far as I understand, nym servers die because their maintainers get
tired of the huge amount of mass mailings, mailbombings and complaints
that these servers generate. Often enough they simply do not have the
bandwidth or CPU resources to maintain them.

Stanford Wallace is doing an excellent job hosting "unpopular"
Internet features which the politically correct scum (like the
cocksucker John Gilmore) sought to censor - like www.Godhatesfags.com.

It's pricey, but it sounds like a nearly ideal site for remailers,
nym sevrers, and the like.

I do not think that cyberpromo is a good site for remailers, because
a lot of sites ignore everything that comes out of cyberpromo and 
affiliated domains. A user who decides to use a cyberpromo-hosted
remailer will not be sure whether his messages will be delivered to
recipients or not.

It may be slightly better to use cyberpromo for a nym server, though.

How much does it cost to have a domain with Cyberpromo?

It's not "a lot" of sites - most of them are just making stupid noises.
Also, if a site does try to decide what its users are allowed to read,
it's too bad for the users - let them move to another site.

It might be a good site for an anon.penet.fi-like server (yes, I keep
promising to do something...)

I believe it's something like $25/month, not including $100 to InterNIC.

  How much for a simple account for usenet?  I'd like to get
one--just respond to the cabal from it--they'll read it.  Decent
ISP don't accept cancels--once we get news.admin.* people being
quoted, trashed and praised in these threads they'll get through.
