You're right, register.fur works for me too... Not sure what the original problem was. That being said, I think it would be better if we changed links from register.fur to nic.fur and the redirect message you mentioned was implemented, that would make it easier.

I don't remember who had the original issue, maybe there was a problem with their T2.

Not exactly split off. More reinvented. But that being details of
History. (Anyone want to write a (wiki) article on the history of
OpenNIC?)

Exactly. ;)

First of all, register.fur is just for 'compatibility' with OpenNIC.
Maybe it's better to make it point to a little page that informs the
reader that he found a strange link and that the actual FurNIC page is
at http://www.nic.fur/.

So basically the domain is more reserved than actually used. If OpenNIC
at some point requests it I would gladly paw it over.

Here is an extract from the whois:
        Status       : approved
        Domain       : register.fur
        Description  : OpenNIC req for register.TLD, redirect to nic.fur
        Created      : 2009-03-06 18:09:50.331651+01

That said: What is the error message you get? The site works for me.
Also feel free to ping me or any other official on IRC. (just ask in
#opennic on freenode if you you already joined.)

Have a nice day,

PS: I will be out of office tomorrow.
