Which ?may? lead to a site "whose name we dare not speak?... which loads only if "http://www." is removed from it... and then displays message:

"Down until 4/19/08 due to bandwidth limitations!

Want to advertise?"

This entire discussion is feeling very surreal - with innuendos about poison-named domains that ban one's account. I do like the idea of openness about banning policies. Why force people to stumble around in the dark and then be punished when they step in the dog piles?

[Or is there a concern about legal concerns if one "vilifies" a site by pronouncing it banned?]


I can't see the site, but it looks like some kind of dumb meme:

I don't understand the joke. Can someone please explain?



That particular site had the Rickroll video and a nasty series of infinite javascript popups. So yes, I was Rickroll'd by Paul Graham, and it crashed my browser.
