Talk:Astalavista.box.sk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Astalavista.box.sk is definetly big, old and famous enoung to get it's own wikipedia page and link to it should be here. Anyhow danger to get some browser exploit, trojan or something like that from it is pretty clear, so i added warning text. Though style of warning is pretty crude. --Zache 05:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no policy stating that there should be a warning placed next to dubious links - it is up to the user to be vigilant. Such warnings constitute bias towards the links in question, namely when it is a link directly about the article in question. Sfacets 06:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe there should be policy to have warnings when there is direct links to pages which are known to have browser exploits. I could understand the statement if user could go to the site and review it, but it is pretty much that if you open the link, then there is attack against your browser. So i think that some warning should be there. Even if we think that everybody should use anti-virus programs and update their browsers, but in reality it doesn't work like that and people who are using wikipedia can't be expected to be that vigilant enoung to analyse outgoing links.

And i really don't think that bias is problem if it is based on facts. The site is search engine for cracs, exploits, warez and so on and browser exploits against your browser are just something what you can expect when you are going there if you know what you are doing. So i think that some warning in article is just fair game.

The domain seems to be dead. I sure hope it wasn't taken offline, I've been using it for a decade. --NeF 10:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
