I agree with you to a certain extent. Most of the big REX businesses have nothing to do with REX other than a brand name. People come looking for all sorts of things REX...TV's, Travel, Health, Oil, Real Estate, Dinosaurs, Money, Famous People, etc. What we have found is that a large portion of them also get there and search for sex. We have also found that through our Amazon program a large majority of products that we sell are sex related, dildos, books, videos, etc. We have had the domain on the market for sale for a while now and are fairly close to resolved of keeping it for the long term and developing it. The one thing we know for sure is that sex is a global universal and from a branding standpoint REX holds great potential for an adult/porn/sex site. We have our own ideas for development of this sort, many of which are very similar to most of the adult sites out there now, but as we continue to think it through we are defining various areas where we can be unique. We have not made any definitive decisions as of yet, like I said we are still evaulating, which is why we thought we would post here to get some feedback from folks like you already in the business. We have our own value placed on the name and should someone or some business step up to the plate and want it, currently it is available. Like I said before, should we decide to take the adult route completly with the domain we will be less concerned with the resale potential to an outside big business. That is an internal decision that we have certainly considered as part of moving forward. Thanks very much for your input, it is appreciated.
