There’s a lengthy thread in the Flickr Help forum that could shed some light on the dispute that’s arisen in the last couple of days.

because the addresses http://www.flickr.com and flickr.com could be routed to different websites on the server, they are not the same technically, but webservers typically route both to the default website…

fasttelco must have forgotten to block anything with a flickr.com trunk

Thanks for the info, can’t seem to find that site with that comment.

I was worried since it came exactly after the Bahrain fiasco with registering of websites. But I wouldn’t put it past Etisalat, those guys have a banned sites list that rivals Saudi. They even blocked AOL cause it was bypassing their censorship proxy.
