    All seriousness aside, Revolver Rabbit sounds like it’d be a real fun 2D platformer about a rabbit with a revolver who has to shoot his way through each level.

    It seems like blacklisting *.bond donations until the registrar fixes this would be completely reasonable.

    I can’t imagine many legitimate sites would be affected.

      Same can and has been said for other gTLDs, like .xyz. Which since they did that 99¢ numbered domain thing has also lead to a lot of wholesale blacklisting.

      Just can’t have nice things while there are bad apples around I guess. Few more of these and we might see a shift towards company IT simply whitelisting the old TLDs and leaving the rest sinkholed as a preventative measure. After all, few legitimate sites are on gTLDs(for now?)

      All those gTLDs meant to widen the market and free up words and phrases long since parked and .com|org|net is still the only viable option if you want to presume you can be visited.
