Er, no, the thread related to Freebitco.in is very much alive. Practically getting more active in the last few months actually ever since it got a dedicated user being admin. Anyway, it's a faucet site after all, rather than a casino. So if you think about it, if you're only there to claim faucet Bitcoins, then you already win, with no risk of losing anything except a few minutes a day (like me haha).
