Is the Linux counter down for good? As of March 1, 2011 the page isn't accessible. KirkWolff (talk) 01:29, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

It seems there is now a "New Linux Counter Project" to replace the old one. It's linked here: http://linuxcounter.net/main.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.146.236 (talk) 20:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Tonight neither li.org nor linuxcounter.net is reachable. Both still have WHOIS records, though. — tbc (talk) 03:11, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

As one of the more seasoned Linux users and kernel hackers I would say this project should have been declared a historic monument perhaps a decade or more ago. I am kernel hacker since 1995 and registered around that time. The current site looks like a prank by some weirdo. Look at the page www.linuxcounter.net/statistics - its a joke. The original purpose of the project is completely lost. 2.247.247.134 (talk) 21:20, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

You are not the only one. I am completely against "far" and often against "right", but the current instance just misuses the name to spread political messages and its very unprofessional. 78.35.53.102 (talk) 15:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Is the previous name of Ms. Löhner, mentioned in a paragraph of the History section, particularly encyclopedic?

I'm a mite doubtful about that, although it may help some join up other dots about her life - Ms Loehner's life isn't the topic of this article, and LiCo is. Ellenor2000 (talk) 16:07, 16 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Domain takeover by an "internet directory"

Latest comment: 4 hours ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It looks like [linuxcounter.net](https://linuxcounter.net] is now an "internet directory" run by [FB Commercials B.V.](https://fbcommercials.nl) (website only has the company registration numbers and address, which is the same as on linuxcounter.net). This is the opening blurb from the main page.

Linuxcounter.net has great links!

Welcome to the best internet directory.
We are your guide on the net.
Use our links wisely.
This will bring you to the best sites.
Just give it a try!

I didn't click on any of the links, but they all appear to be non-parameterized URLs and the links for FedEx and Global Shipping (UPS) both appear to go to the correct sites. I wonder if this has something to do with SEO (not my area of expertise).

As a new editor, I'm not sure if this is worthy of further memorialization or how to do so. Add a new section at the end to mention the current status of the domain name?
