Mirror loli.forsale

OK guys, I think you know why I registered to post this topic.

Look, I want to see arch continue to succeed. It's great. I've been using it for years.

And I get it. It's a joke. They have their place among consenting adults. But at the end of the day the URL is a joke about human trafficking and that's not a professional way for the distribution to present itself. It's something that would mean I can't conscionably recommend the distribution to friends in real life because people who aren't part of a certain culture might find it pretty offensive.

So I'm asking you, the community, to get together to remove the mirror. I don't know when it was added or why or how. I get that having lots of mirrors is a good thing for everyone. But this is just counterproductive.

That's my view, anyway. Feel free to discuss.

I've removed the mirror and started discussion with the admin about choosing a better domain name.
