"On May 10th, ICANN will convene again to talk about .XXX that should have been nailed down 2 years ago, but the response from the adult community was seriously lacking.

Two years later, .XXX is closer to becoming a reality, because on the whole, it appears that ICM Registry has been able to prove with their letters and whatever evidence of support, that the adult community supports .XXX, thus achieving one of the main ICANN directives of being able to demonstrate constituency.

All the chatter and talk the last 2 years clearly shows that the adult community DOES NOT WANT .XXX, but the voices have not been heard for the volumne that it represents, but instead, more of a mouse peep from a very few who been talking outloud about this subject.

What has been sadly missing, is that paysite owners and webmaster resources sites haven't emailed their affiliates/members who are just as affected by all of this, to get involved, to post up as companies and individuals to take a stand, that we can't even get 1,000 webmasters to post up to [email protected] to visually demonstrate that .XXX is not wanted.

The few responses up at ICANN are great for those that posted, but it really
sends the wrong message by the lack of numbers posting.

As much a fuss as a few of us have publically made, ICANN can look at the
lack of large responses as a sign that ICM must indeed have support of the
adult community.

Lawley stated in an interview at AVNonline that over a thousand adult webmasters wrote in their support for .XXX.

How shameful that we can't even refute that claim by getting 1,000 webmasters to even post up against .XXX.

I don't blame the "industry leaders" that are involved in backing .XXX at all... its business to them, and it will be business as usual if .XXX gets
approved.

Where those that did support .XXX start to feel the consequences of their
short-sighted greed, is when legislation is imposed or .XXX is used to cause
harm.

I am sure those early supporters didn't think through this in the long term,
but for them, it won't matter.. they have made their money, and they can
survive whatever happens while everyone else is left holding the shit-bag.

This .XXX issue really underscores the lack of unity or cohesiveness and operating in complete self-interest.

-----------------
The sad fact is that as a whole, the industry will get what it deserves
through its greed. It is unfortunate that all the many good business people
that i know, will get tossed under the same ill-gotten consequences imposed
by a minority, and validated by a majority of mindless/silent/apathetic
webmasters.

Sending an email to: [email protected] which shows up at:
http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-tld-agreement/

could have little effect on .XXX, if .XXX is already a forgone conclusion by ICAAN, but it will atleast demonstrate to the industry (and to those who have been active in the fight for what is right) that there is some hope that when the bell is rung, webmasters will come forward.

Anyone who has a mailing list, could email that list with info about being a part of the petition against .XXX by companies and individuals sending an email to [email protected].

Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.


and that's all i have to say 'bout dat.


Fight the Gump!"

Thats right with no lube here it comes...unless we vote, and voteing is as easy as sending a email voicing your opposition regarding .XXX

What about all these Big Programs and our Industry Leaders, if this passes you can explain where you were when all our asses were up in the air. Every one has to vote, the .XXX group is counting on us not doing anything.

I would rather go down knowing i said something or tried to stop something, rather than rolling over and playing dead, or wishing it would just go away....

"If they pull off the .xxx extension, the next step will be all the ISP's installing filters to block it. Then the government is going to force the major search engines to filter out anything with a .xxx TLD. IE will be set to block .xxx also.

Wake the fuck up.

Mike

You wake the fuck up if they do that people will go back to useing .com

Only 10 people wrote an email withing the past 6 hours, WTF people, stop being lazy, who do you think will fight this battle for you?

Guys don't be lazy and spend 5 minutes of your time to write a damn email. Every email helps. Whats wrong with you? Unite for once, every vote counts. It's better to spend 5 minutes than be forced to deal with finding offshore hosting, new sponsor links etc etc.

It's like a decaying tooth, the sooner you fix it the better!

MAY 10TH 2006!
That's the day ICANN sits and decides about this!

I appoved the message I sent but its not showing up at http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-tld-agreement/ whats the deal?

.xxx Will Have a Catastrophic Effect on the Entire Online Porn Industry!


If it goes through it may intially be on a voluntary basis. Eventually it will become mandatory. After this happens the entire online porn industry will have to be completely re-wired so to speak.

Think about it...your back links, reciprocal links, sponsor links, every gallery and free site ever submitted to your TGP or link list, not to mention your search engine positions etc. EVERYTHING...ALL GONE!


Let your voice be heard!
