Hard to believe huh?

I stumbled across this site ( http://blogs.pi.edu/ ... no link love for you biatch ) whilst I was wandering around the web. It's a dot Edu which has opened it's doors to the public and allows them to create their very own .edu blog for a mere $50 a month. That's right, for the princely sum of $50 the spammers can now have a blog on one of the most respected TLD's on the web ..... no longer do they need to search for obsolete .edu message boards to fill with their crap they can have their own shiny sub domain to play with

Time to blacklist pi.edu?

Perish the thought, they're totally against spam, you can tell just by reading their TOS :

Cool now I feel reassured .... if only it wasn't absolute bollocks ..... a cursory glance over the blogs that have already been set up will show you that it's soon gonna be a full blown spam source ... no worries though, because at least it'll be educated spam huh? :roll:
