ICANNs issue is most obviously with not wanting to get into the business of checking content and verifying international legality of the adult entertainment.
No matter what, ICANN is going to have to rethink it's entire position on new TLDs, because it is getting way out of hand.
Interesting addition to this. 76,000 pre-regustrations from 1000 people...against literally MILLIONS of adult .com, .net, .info, and so on. They cannot even suggest that these people represent a "community". The majority of people have expressed NO interest in the whole deal.
the one thing that icann hads that adult doesn't is its consistency. they had a closed door and killed it already, this is the official. they do not want the responsibility.
ha - so when are people who posted on this board claiming to know what 'top notch guys' from this industry were in cahoots with this clown going to reveal who these people are?
to be honest i never worried about this one like I do about 2257 or even Acacia cuz it was pretty transparent what this was all about and I didn't think it stood a chance of succeeding.
I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
they're all saying that active opposition from the adult community was a deciding factor for voting down .xxx
a big to all the idiots who said we are wasting our time fighting it
exactly. i'm proud of and extend my greatest appreciation to all who stepped up.
and to those who tried to fuck us, hope i don't get that list. i'll post it in a second. i got lots more going for me than adult, even if it killed my adult existence which i highly doubt it, i'd out you in a minute. the only one i respect is lensman, cuz he had the balls to say he supported. if you are going to make decisions, hold your balls and be a man or woman and accept the consequences instead of cowering behind robbers not even in our business.
a big fuck you to whoever tried to stab the industry with this.
but like i've always said, .xxx will not kill this industry, this will......

I take specific objection to being labeled as "irresponsible" because I don't support .XXX - my feeling is that the people who most often work in the grayest areas of our business are the ones trying to get this done, with the goal of squeezing smaller players out of the game and seeking to create a semi-monopoly on all online porn.
She stayed up all night practicing this speil. She is very fond of her own voice.
ROFL... you can tell she's the kind of person that talks herself to sleep at night. I'm guessing she's been married three or four times and she doesn't understand why her husbands keep leaving her. She should be forced to have a zipper surgically sewn into her lips.

They can truly go fuck themselves.
yes, but she said that the tld submission should not be revisited or resubmitted again.

It is just overwhelming. She sounds like she came to the table with her mind made up, and has no hope of allowing any change to that opinion.

One of these guys needs to walk over there and turn off this chick's microphone. Honestly, did she just tell everyone what the internet was, and that we used modems to connect to it?
The funniest part is that she says that "some on the board might have a problem with adult content", yet she is the only one so far that sounds like she could work for the Bush Administration. She doesn't just speak, but she spews.

Of course! She worked on that fucking long ass speech for a month, she didn't have time to ready her "change of heart" speech. She was going to decide at the last minute which way to go via a coin flip but since she didn't have her backup speech ready she just went with her "I'm a close-minded bitch" speech.
