I guess this is the "crutch" you people want to lean on now. Since it's passed and looks like we have to deal with it, no one wants to give up hope so the new plan is "no one buy, it will just go away in a couple years".

Come on, I hate that fuck fuck Lawley, and am as pissed as the rest of you. But it is sad to see the delusional people in these threads thinking that they can rally everyone to not buy so it will go away.
I can only go by what I have seen happen with other new tld's. Lots of money spent in the landrush auctions. Retarded domains going for retarded amounts but 1-2 years later they are worthless, no one wants them and the people who dished out money realize they were screwed and just like xxx, promises were made of .eu being the .com of europe (didn't happen) .mobi being the .com of mobile sites (didn't happen) and .asia being the .com for asia (didn't happen). tons of domains will be bought, some will be used but i bet 70-80% will be dropped especially considering the rip off prices though I also predict prices to drop when domain registrations start to slow and people don't renew what they bought initially.

what a lot of people are forgetting is that .com is the internet to just about everyone. you'll have to re-educate people to use .xxx. Right now, the average person hasn't a clue about it. Good luck with that since people have been using .com's for the past 15 years. its like starting all over again, zero traffic, zero everything..
