well, i see you guys have not only started requiring shoutcast rather than another server [like icecast, etc] to be running [which is totally fine- its your software], but you *banned* all the hostnames of anyone who was once listed before! this is just plain dirty. i almost gave in and set up a relay server using shoutcast [yp.shoutcast.com brings me mad crazy amounts of web hits], but when i tried it, i still didn't get listed.. tried it from another host, and it goes right in! whats the deal guys? i can understand the marketing tactics, but this is just selling out right there.

Hmmmm. . . .which other server are you using? From what I know, SHOUTcast allows IceCast servers to list. I see IceCast servers there now.

Maybe you it hates just you. What are you using?

yeah, we've got no beef against jack and the icecast gang (yay open source wish we could do it too)

chances are you're on a subnet someone was faking listeners from before. send me mail if you want to talk about it. (tom@shoutcast.com)
