[edit] Alternative

Look I have found to good free domains. .co.nr and .co.sr. My Favourite is .co.sr as it has simple sign up. You only give them an email address and password but it cannot be accessed through the mainpage (http://nic.co.sr) (for me anyway) because of a weird warning against porn so you have to go to http://nic.co.sr/eng/left_002-1.htm

[edit] Other use?

I have noticed a lot of websites using this ccTLD that are obviously not from Tokelau. Is there some "second meaning" for .tk as there is for .nu(Niue)?

No, I guess they use it because it's free :) Alensha 15:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ISP block

Anyone know why some ISPs (including mine) block .tk domains?

reply to above: Road Runner blocks .tk domains. Arual

I'm on Road Runner, and I've been able to get though to a variety of *.tk sites. Google site:.tk and you'll find some pretty interesting stuff. :) - Thanks, Hoshie 10:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

This was true for a very long time and was quite annoying, but has since changed. I'm changing it in the article. --Mikeazorin 01:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

when roadrunner was blocking the site, i called tehm to discuss teh issue. i got forwarded up to some higher level of tech support, and was pretty much told "we don't know why this is happening" Tingrin87 08:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing senseless sentence

The sentence This is made impossible by all other services impossible. doesn't make any sense and is very confusing. I have not removed it because it probably serves some purpose, but I do wonder what was meant by it. The sentence should either be removed or written in a way that makes sense.

[edit] Signup not working

I have an account that used to work fine, but now whenever I login - Go to Add New - When I type in an address, it simply refreshes.... Sometimes it gets to step 2, and then sometimes to step 3.... Normally it just goes back to Step 1 over and over

[edit] Access denied!

Does anyone know if dot.tk denies access to any browsers or operating systems? Cuz I cant go to the site running Mozilla 1.3.1 on Windows 98, it just says "The connection was refused when attempting to connect to www.dot.tk". Bubble 94 is bringin' the JE££¥! 19:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I had that for a while (a few weeks) but I just went there then and it seems to be fine. Aristeaus 05:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

I did a google search on "gumtree .tk" and "gumtree .tk spam" and I don't see any relevant results on the first page save this wikipedia article. I hope that should someone fail to include a cite for those statements they will be deleted as they are quite unencyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thane Eichenauer (talk • contribs) 20:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
