Only a miracle, a resurrection, will bring this software back. It's dead.

I'm glad to hear that. The thing is though, the lists and blocking abilities are still there. Consider Peerblock a bit like Proxomitron, the software itself has long stopped being developed, but the filters still work just fine and people are actively tinkering with them.

I agree... for as long as IPv6 doesn't become widely used. With PeerBlock no longer being developed, the time would come it would be pretty much useless.

So, I suppose the hope was a mirage itself? That said, I found an interesting comment over Peerblock's own forum regarding funding...
