Hi

Thank you and cheers

Oh those just updated, days ago:

I think, you should point to this instead:

Removing yoyo.org from the OP list since Peter Lowe responded almost instantly.
Thank you Peter.

@Laicure about malwaredomainlist.com.. even uBO has removed:

@Laicure
For the first two on the list, I am still unsure.
The update status might be also invoked by some collection scripts.

For MVP, I am still receiving their monthly HOSTS update thing via email so I think they are still up.
And checking the MVP hosts commit: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/commit/a4ff58d4cbe0e753a318dbf8ed7291504325f43d, they are still up and running.
same commit update goes to someonewhocares.

The problem is they do not respond to requests. 😉
The monthly HOSTS update might be some automated process.

[Laicure]

Ohh, I see. I got your point. 😜

And Someonewhocares is primarily updated when people send in ones they find or Dan finds them. It is maintained.

Thanks @crssi. The sources you list are all being maintained, in my view.

It's the middle of summer right now, in the middle of a pandemic. I'm not holding anyone to task for being less responsive than we might otherwise expect.

Closing.

Thank you and cheers
