Perfectly Reasonable:
Sigh. This is the Dora who snooped on Marten's porn archive after being told not to.

( today the site loaded fine except for the notorious N.N. Marf avatar. when i try to visit the revised url, firefox now gives me

We can’t connect to the server at www.mmhak3fquhmd3fnaplgvgcq5yxefhhv3h53m6p6ckiblau675f6milyd.onion.

Had nothing better to do on lunch, decided to hop onto Tor and "walk" to it. It's alright.

Marf, it's not the forum software, and it's not the server hosting the forum software. It is, at a very great stretch, the fault of the users' browsers for not resolving the .onion TLD - but since those RFCs specifically say that DNS operators must return NXDOMAIN for .onion requests I can hardly fault them for trusting that the domain does not exist.

But just for fun, I thought I'd try loading this page in a bunch of different browsers:

Chrome - name resolution fails
Firefox - doesn't make the request
Edge - name resolution fails
IE11 - doesn't make the request
Tor Browser - succeeds, strangely enough

So maybe four of those browsers are faulty? It seems unlikely, given that they make up a hair under 75% of all browser use and more than 85% of desktop browser use. But maybe they are, so I'll try going a level lower.

What does nslookup give me?

Oh. Well, uhhhhhh... Maybe my nslookup is faulty too? I'll try someone else's.

https://network-tools.com/nslookup/ - nothing returned
https://centralops.net/co/NsLookup.aspx - NameError
http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php - NXDOMAIN

Dang, there's a lot of faulty software out there.

Or maybe - juuuust maybe - using a .onion address on a site intended to be used on the non-Tor Internet is a silly idea.

If you want metaphors, you're walking around Edinburgh and wondering why people look at you funny when you tell them to visit you in Brigadoon.
