So, like so many other things (counters, pop-ups, etc) it's easier to just decline anything you see from those hosts.
Let's face it - you never hear about a rape site on National Net - or a multisubmitter on Colo-cation - or a guy with questionable content on Webair.
I really need some of my old-school LL friends in here before people think I've (completely) lost my mind  |
No, you've not lost your mind Greenie. Well, at least not on this topic anyway
Having recently taken over managing a couple old link sites, and having done quite a bit of cleanup on the sites, the theory about those hosts was borne out by what I found. By and large, the vast majority of the cheaters/scammers/redirects/spyware installing fucks were hosted by one of the hosts you mention...and almost all were reg'd with estdomains. Big fucking hairy suprise...NOT!
