WARNING: Don't open the link at work!

Just noticed that the S/390 link in the http://www.slackware.com/ports/ page points to a porn page. It would probably be better if it was removed.

I think the OP was referring to the link on the left that says S/390 (I don't recommend clicking on it)

well that didn't take long for the s390 link to disappear (thankfully), just hopefully when it is back up it doesn't go to a porn site , wew.

Oh I think it is safe to mark this as solved btw

I guess that means the S/390 Slackware port is dead?

It's been effectively dead for quite a few years now (afaik).

OOF!, yea and it uh......still goes to that page

Here, the link is still there and still links to the porn site.

It looks like the domain (slack390.org) was genuine, but recently expired and was not renewed. Some "smart" guy just purchased the domain and used it for his business.

See the domain DNS history attached.

Well - while someone has gone to the trouble of fixing it, they might as well fix the "freshmeat" link under "Other Sites" - it's defunct. Can rather use "http://freshcode.club/".

Umm, it is back going to a .org but it still uh ...goes to that porn site.

-edit

Since s390 is a dead project, maybe just remove it entirely at this point?
