ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

In my early days of webhosting, I left my RDP open so I could access my webserver from anywhere (hey! give me a break... I was 8...)

Now-a-days, I actually DO have RDP open on my domain (which is run out of my datacenter), but my gateway (that I built, its a P4 w/ 2.5 GB RAM fyi) forwards the RDP port to a specific Terminal Server, that is set up soley for that purpose. Once logged into the Terminal Server, you can access a secure area of my network (using encryption) which allows you to Remote Desktop any of the servers on my network (I run 7 servers 24/7 on my domain).

So in short, I guess the answer is ME!!!

But I think I have the security measures to compensate. My domain has been running over 2 years without a problem (not referring to uhsserobotics.com, I'm referring to my personal domain that I use for remote services... FYI uhsserobotics.com is run from a seperate couple of servers in my datacenter).
