Lolz-Ws
lolz.ws and lulz.ws Are Shutting Down on August 9
I have decided to shut down my URL shortening sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, on August 9.
Here are some of the reasons why I have come to this decision:
- The lack of traffic on these sites.
- Most URLs were created by spammers.
- lolz.ws was in the jwSpamSpy spam list for which reasons I do not know, causing it to be blocked by some web filters.
- No email has ever been sent from this domain since the day I registered it.
- It has since been taken out of the spam list as I requested but some filters still block the domain.
- lolz.ws was once blocked for pornography.
- The fact that there are many other URL shortening sites out there.
iPrism is Blocking lolz.ws for Pornography?
So today I have discovered that lolz.ws is on the filter list on iPrism for pornography/nudity.
Now the last time I checked, lolz.ws has no sort of pornography or nudity which makes this baffling to me. It is simply a service to make short URLs similar to bit.ly and TinyURL.
I have had issues with this domain before. The domain was in the jwSpamSpy spam domain blacklist a few months ago for some odd reason. Since the domain was in there some other web content filters had been blocking the site. I was able to get the blacklist removed for the domain though.
lolz.ws / lulz.ws Now Live
These two sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, are now live as URL Shortening sites.
You can now create URLs like for example:
Enjoy, lulz.
Plans on Two New URL Shortening Sites
Recently I bought the domains, lolz.ws and lulz.ws. What am I going to do with them is make them URL Shortening sites.
Imagine linking to something funny on Twitter, Facebook, or to a friend using lolz.ws: http://lolz.ws/alias
Imagine linking to something you are doing the lulz for using lulz.ws: http://lulz.ws/alias
Of course it will be possible to use both URLs for just about anything. It will be a while before I get these sites up.
