I know some that did pre-register.. and they said that when you did register, you could see company names of others..

Each business will have to decide if they want to get .XXX domains

The move to make it mandatory is clearly out there with already proposed bills that got tabled for now.

Having .xxx be approved, will surely make them come back.

If its mandatory, you have no choice, so there is no discussion points, other than the ones that attorneys will make in shooting down that law.

Since it is voluntary right now, and since there is alot of confusion or unawareness of the implications of .XXX, this panel is the perfect place to get a better understanding.

If you aren't going to get .XXX domains, that's your business decision.. but those that want to get it, will want to make their decisions based on a better understanding of what they are getting into.

Blasting those that purchase .XXX domains won't be too constructive either, since you could cite that ICANN will see that as acceptance.. but ya know what, webmasters will buy those .XXX domains.. its business.

Its no difference than the literally hundreds of discussions i had with webmasters concerning Acacia. I know many that took a license, and I never shunned them for it, i understand they made a business decision to license rather than to fight.

Those that did fight (and are still fighting).. did the industry pour/direct traffic to them to help them out? some did, but not as much as what should have been.



Fight the fingerpointing!
