There was something on the old consume site about this, and was
definitely
traffic on the lists. Just had a quick look on the wiki but cant find
anything.

It's worth also adding content filtering into your "firewall"
(very bad
idea to give people unauthenticated, unrestricted access outbound!) -
that
way you can get people interested in the .. "we also filter adult
content!" type thing. hmm mind you saying that, its also a negative
point
for some :P
