Re: Teksavvy forbids running servers

no one ever gets kicked off their ISP for running servers... anywhere...

especially because many normal desktop apps run in server mode.

is there are reason for this pedantic thread?

The first rule of running a home server is that no one talks about the home server. Questions can only give the rules more teeth. ;-p

More seriously perhaps the wording can be changed a bit to differentiate between personal use and "harmful" use.

Ah! So you think! Back in the early days of cable internet (Rogers @home service), I got my service suspended when they found out I was running an email server at home. I don't think even Rogers suspends accounts for running servers anymore though.
