Many who opposed .XXX (like myself) was due to the "sponsored" part.
As a standalone TLD, its no different than .biz, .info, etc (and look how well those did)

it's not that simple, as even without it being "sponsored", they (ICM) would still totally control this .TLD and most of the original dangers/risks associates with this idea, would be still valid.... IMO
I agree though that the significant changes in the .TLD application process made by ICANN last year, change the circumstances a little.
In short, I'm still against them being allowed to run an .xxx extension.
I haven't even read their new announcment yet though, will do it later.
On the other hand, the adult industry is surely suffering from some other things already, that weren't here just 2 years ago. I am not sure if adult webmasters would still have the drive to oppose .xxx as strongly as 2 years ago...
