I will open this up on trac tomorrow and go about with a few proposals of how exactly to redesign it. If Tor is to scale we'll need to consider a few factors as the reasonable expectation is for both the list to continue to grow and that if it is made easier to use, that it will be used more often too.
One shortcoming somebody highlighted to me on IRC today was Tor doesn't not have a page for ISPs and nearly all work communicating to ISP's is left to the individual. If anyone is interested in perhaps forking this onto a seperate page just let me know, otherwise should we develop this alongside the page overhaul?

i've found that the Tor GoodBadISPs list [1] is somewhat outdated on current hosts that allow Tor (exit) relays to be hosted. i'm trying to find a cheap host that allows exits to be operated from their services, and navigating the outdated list and finding an operator that isn't extremely expensive is time consuming (some entries go back to 2010!).
I may have an update for Digital Ocean here soon. Over the weekend my exit node was used by someone brute forcing wordpress logins. As expected the network to my droplet was disabled and I've been communicating with them since. They seemed respectful that I could show my droplet wasn't compromised and they directed me to their TOS which doesn't disallow tor traffic but does hold one responsible for the traffic.
My latest response to them is that I'm happy to address abuse but I can only do it if I'm informed about it however their TOS suggests that they may terminate droplets if abuse occurs which doesn't give me time to be responsible. I already run a limited exit policy to avoid DMCA hassle but any response to abuse by it's very nature occurs after abuse has taken place. I'm hoping to hear from them whether they'll allow responsible actions for abuse or if they will simply terminate droplets that have a history behind them.
