Huh? Surely a link that takes people to a page that "no longer exists" is
a "bad link", by definition.
Anyhoo: it doesn't matter what we call it, as long as we agree that the
point of the accreditation link from the ICANN page is to inspire
confidence in the consumer, and that a message saying "this page no
longer exists" probably fails that standard.
True, that error page does have a link telling people to go to the main
"www.tucows.com" page. However, that's hardly the correct one, either;
it's not exactly focused on domain registration services.
Making "names.tucows.com" silently redirect to "www.opensrs.org" would
solve the problem nicely without much effort.
Thanks!
