That's a good point actually. Nowhere in the terms and conditions does it say "we will not cancel your domain", therefore they're not scamming you. Plus how can you get scammed on something that's free?

That's like saying "I work at McDonald's and can tell you that our food does not make you fat."

Um, no, those two scenarios are completely different.

Lemme write a processing script to bash this site with a ridiculous number of hits.

Unless you use a different proxy for each individual hit, you're wasting your time.

But it would be fun! Good processing practice. 

edit: it doesnt work!!!!!111!1!11

import processing.net.*;
Client c;

int hits = 0;

void setup() {
  size(400,128);
  
  c = new Client(this, "www.dummydomain.tk", 80);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  fill(255);
  c.write("GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"); //get request-- am I doing this right?
  delay(50); //allow for interweb lag
  while(c.available() <= 0){
    ;
  }
  //println(c.readString());  // for debunking purposes: actually prints source code of a different page?!?!
  text("dummydomain received " + hits + " hits so far", 10,20); // doesn't actually increase hit counter on page
  hits++;
}

+1 and, +1.

What would be really funny is if this doesn't work.

Wait, where do they say that they don't shut down your site after a certain number of views? If they say that but shuts down your site then yes, that's a scam. But if they don't say that and shut down your site you're just making crazy a declaration.

I was so bored, I added 1,200 more views.

Remember what we said about unique IPs?
Well, your ISP may be so bored that they cancel your service for trying a DDoS attack. Remember that iPads are pretty much useless without internet access. 

He may be a 3G/4G version :3

I was just doing it for fun.

And well, maybe I'm not using a cellular network: I'm using wifi. So there. 

:p

I'd assume get enough views for it to get shut down.

I think it's shut down by a machine.
