Yeah, that's pretty much the same for everything that offers free domains (.tk, .co.cc, name it), spammers will register zillions of them in bulk (cuz it's free) and use them to spam.

That's kinda why domain names are paid and have certain restrictions depending of the TLD, they want to make sure the DNS system will be used for good by legit people, or else everything gets blocked because the number of spam registrations outnumbers the number of legit registrations.

It sucks, though, because before many sites would use them legitimately, and now because of spammers and companies not checking enough for innapropriate use, those domains get blacklisted in search engines and thus, generate less traffic for people's sites.

Haha, they thought the .tk domain was dormant. WTF.

Anyway, I'm glad we switched to a real, paid domain that doesn't desactivate on a whim. They reactivated it, I doubt it'll be of any use now.

I prefer that we stick to Ourl now, because free services are generally not reliable in long terms and can have recurrent problems. And yeah I guess the misc section could be updated.

Yeah, when those shortcuts were implemented, Omnimaga did not have a german section and rules page yet. There used to be a dutch sub-forum, though.

Only Netham45 can add them, and he isn't active much lately, so that could probably take months.
