Anyway, I doubt depending on a unknown project may qualify as "quality" for something as important as you domain name. Especially since having you own domain name can cost less than $10 per year, I don't really see the value in something like this (and I never want to live the Freenom debacle again).
To answer the first question, yep it's just "oblong".
We exist so people don't have to go to freenom when they want their own but free domain. I've used Freenom in the past, and they are the worst experience.
