    Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?

    “Shut down by the Taliban”, sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.

      Because the .af is funny. They likely knew it would get shut down eventually.

        Domain names do not need to be only 3 letters long.

        queer.asfuck would be legitimate too or queer.assfuck if you want to

          Neither of those are valid TLDs.

            To be a bit pedantic about it, they are perfectly valid, they just don’t exist.

              To be even more pedantic, if it’s not a resolvable TLD, then it is invalid.

          I don’t think that’s a valid TLD though. You’d need to pick from one of those: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tlds-2012-02-25-en

            You’ve never heard of the proud nation of Asfuckington?
