The admin stated they won't be renewing the domain because .af is now controlled by the Taliban.

Why would you want to use .af TLD anyway?

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It's like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

Same with Twitch.tv, the .tv apparently being the country code for Tuvala.
