Wrong answer. Important questions are relevant to where you stand on this issue, how you operate your business and how you are planning for the future.
While some of these questions may not be important to you or the panel, they are damn important to some of us. Thus ALL questions need to be answered. WE are the ones that stand to lose the most, not YOU or anyone who has a hand in .XXX.
To have any panel where the questions are restricted will defeat the purpose of even having a panel in the first place. If it is not a free forum where ALL respectful questions will be answered, then it simply becomes a podium for them to tell us how it's going to be. I am surprised you do not see that. This is one hell of a spin job, and everyone is buying into it.

We know what it's about... MONEY.
Since we all know that, we want real questions. We want to know why they will cost $75 and not the price of a normal domain. There is no reason for this. We want to know who made money off of this deal. Who sold us out? We want to know who deserves our traffic, our ad money and our respect. And while that may not be relevant to you or the panel, to some of us who still hold moral business values, that means everything.
We want to know if the owners of .COM will get first dibs on .XXX. If not, why? And what about the thousands or millions some have spent to brand those .COM domains? Who eats that if we are forced to give up our .COMs?
Who will take responsibility and step up to the plate when this thing goes sour and we all get fucked? Will they have our backs and fight with us, or hike up the rate to $200 per .XXX domain? Will they even answer their e-mail, or blow us off like the late Ibill, Paymond, or the current slackers Epassport (answer your e-mails fuckers).
We also want to know if plans are already in the works to filter .XXX, to block .XXX or harm us in any other way. You can bet your ass the plans are already in the works, so we may as well get them out in the open so we can plan accordingly.
Since it is clear this is not for the children, we want to know how this may be passing yet almost the entire industry is against it? Not a single person I know supports this, and nobody they know. NOT ONE!!! I have asked. Yet, here we are. So someone is about to get PAID on this deal... Xbiz?
Is this the REAL reason Tom Hymes went to Xbiz? Was this all one big set up? Was this planned from the moment they were foiled the first with plans to pay another party for each domain?
Too many fucking questions, ALL OF THEM RELEVANT!!!
Fight EVERYONE who will not answer your questions! |
