> It seems that the service now redirects to a site called Freenom where you can still get .tk names, but they appear to be priced based on the length and whether or not the domain contains known words or phrases (though some free ones are apparently still available if you don't mind having a gibberish name)

I consider that virtuous, and smart. Short domains must cost more than long domains. They're more valuable. Words must cost more than gibberish. But there were domains available, right? Didn't have to bang out twenty minutes finding something you liked that wasn't taken?
