Me too Joe. Ooh, free shipping! Besides, the only real band they are promoting is Skrewdriver, and they weren't racist in the beginning anyways.

I get the redirect too. That's weird.

Works for me. Give it some time. The magic monkeys of DNS haven't whispered their secret codes across the globe yet. The IP address your're getting is probably for bugmenot's old host.

And to think, if we were all just really lazy we could have saved two FPPs... ;)

That's odd, the Nazi music shop is letting me bypass many sites' compulsory registration.

Yay! Thanks for the link, K! Konolia and me are now psychically linked! Earth to spin backwards in 3...2...1...

Explanation from bugmenot at boingboing: "Our stinkin host pulled the plug on us without notice (pretty obvious they were pressured somehow). But everything is sweet again- I've been in talk with our new hosts and they are very sympathetic to the cause and won't be pulling the plug on us again. Thanks for your support and concern but they are going to have to pry this site from my cold, dead hands :)"

I'm so glad I didn't uninstall the bugmenot firefox extension.

The extension is still on the Firefox website, and works for me even though the website doesn't.

From BoingBoing regarding the nazi site:

"1. Bugmenot was with our original hosting company. They pulled the plug. 2. Decided to move to dissidenthosting.com, redelegated. 3. Two days passed and I still couldn't access the dissidenthosting account + bad vibe so I redelegated again to nearlyfreespeech.net 4. Dissidenthosting decided to take advantage of the situation by redirecting traffic to a neo-nazi site of their choice while the redelegation took hold to nearlyfreespeech.net 5. Things have just about settled down now at our new host (nearlyfreespeech.net) and everything seems to be working out. Personally, I don't care if I'm sharing a server with neo-nazis. I might not agree with what they have to say, but the whole thing about freedom of speech is that people are free to speak."

Personally, I don't care if I'm sharing a server with neo-nazis. I might not agree with what they have to say, but the whole thing about freedom of speech is that people are free to speak. As a matter of interest, these neo-nazis are also free to publish pictures of my friends. (really) These sites aren't about free speech, they're about intimidation and stalking.
