Damn.
I've been "running" a webserver for quite a while, on and off just showing stuff to friends. Recently, I set up a server for counter-strike, so that my friends and I could have a private server to play on, and thats when I found out cable ISPs don't allow servers. How do they even find out if I am running a server? my use considered against TOU? yeah hm

oh crap. i've been running my server off comcast for 2 years, and they haven't found it yet...
i dont' get a lot of traffic, but still....
