If Stop Forum Spam gets their act together, then I'll add it in myself. But it's been over a year since I looked at it, and they've gone from having a manual removal form to no removal form at all. They claim it's broken; I suspect it was inundated with spam. This is the wrong direction, I think. Remember, with these blacklists I want to give legitimate people who wind up with a dirty IP address an easy way out.
I've tested a lot of blacklists over the years, and found that all of them block legitimate users from time to time simply because of aggressive IP reuse by ISPs. Since most of them are designed to stop email spam, it's OK if they have a more involved removal process, since it's generally only something the ISP will do, but for the purpose of securing a web site, removals have to be fast and easy. This is where Stop Forum Spam fails.
