OpenDNS Phases Out Redirection To Guide

First time accepted submitter Jim Efaw (3484) writes "Tired of the OpenDNS Guide surprise from website-unavailable.com when you go to an old link or a typo from some ISPs? Relief is at hand: On June 6, 2014, OpenDNS will stop redirecting dead hostnames to Guide and its ads; the OpenDNS Guide itself will shut down sometime afterwards. OpenDNS nameservers will start returning normal NXDOMAIN and SERVFAIL messages instead. Phishing protection and optional parental controls will still stay in place."

    Wait, how will they make money then?

    I would just kidnap some niggers

    no don't do that. just look at Harlem (from a good safe distance!) for a picture of the long-term consequences of that.

    the nigger's origin in a faraway continent and the nigger's inability to come up with seafaring vessels on his own (or invent much of anything really unless you like spears and peanuts) are actually great fortunes meant to protect civilization. do you see now what greed and laziness does?

    if my great great grandpappy knew things would be this way he'd of picked his own cotton!!
