Will .XXX be the end of porn?

No its not. But it could change the way things work drastically

I am hoping that .xxx will cost a lot.

the main reason is if it puts people off from buying, then most will not bother and in a years time they will be as worth as much as the others that no one wants such as .mobi.

Demand who?

At best some countries could filter millions of adult.com sites.

This is independent of whether they would allow .xxx

.xxx wil fizzle plain and simple, like all alternate TLDs.

Looks more like a new beginning ...

The only way .xxx will survive is if some countries start to pass legislation requiring adult domains to be .xxx. And, we could all see that. They would argue it protects children, because it would be easy to filter .xxx sites from a child's computer. If that happens, the adult industry will definitely change drastically. It won't ever "end" because its just too much money and there's too much of a demand. But a lot of us smaller players might get pushed out.

For example, lets say some mediums such as mobile Apple products filtered out .xxx, that would be less business. To someone like Playboy, or Vivid, thats not game-changing. But for someone small who depends on that traffic, they're dead. If some ISPs try to project a "family image" and cut .xxx, same thing. Add to that the possible new difficulties in finding and competing for the best domains on just one TLD.

The group this will help the most will be pirates, as they would have less competition from the legit side, increasing the demand drastically for pirated porn. Plus, pirates would likely get through all filters as they wouldn't be on the .xxx domains.

The question will be:

1. will you buy .xxx domains?

2. Will you promote sites on .xxx domains?

We could kill .xxx domains by refusing to buy them., and not working in any way with them.

Surly google will have a .xxx filter option.

This is just too easy to filter .xxx domains.

You can take my .com when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

xxx

well, traffic coming from those countries that will block xxx probably won't convert at all so I don't care. As I am concerned I won't buy any of those domains. Hope everyone will ignore it but if we have so much tubes, I doubt that webmasters are aware of what they are doing.

I'm not as worried about countries as I am about companies and ISPs here in the US. I could see someone like Comcast jumping to be the first "family ISP". Don't underestimate how big of a hit that would be with Conservatives. They may be the biggest consumer of porn, but they are also the biggest opponent to its existence.

well, that's sounds logical. So what do you guys suggest? I think that only way is to ignore them before someone try to make them obligatory.

will xxy be for women?

i agree
