The whole point of pre-reg would be to get it before anyone else does.
Don't "bet" about it, please post some proof about it.

i just went for the sake of arguing about it and not "betting" and submitted "porn.xxx" "adult.xxx" "sex.xxx" etc. and it accepted them. It didn't say anything about duplicates. I am sure that counted towards their totals too.
So there you go, that total number is full of duplicates. You likely have 100's of people submitting the same domain for registration. It doesn't make the process useless, it just causes an auction to happen if there is more than 1 person trying to pre register the same domain (not counting those who did the sunrise process). Wait till the sunrise period is over and how many auctions there are. Greedy staurt isn't going to have first come first served for non sunrise, he is going to let it go to auction to he can make the most money.

250,000 likely not from this industry. I am sure you heard of "domainers" and people who buy and sell domains for a living. Most of them are likely several of the big names, stupid people thinking they have a shot at something like freeporn.xxx etc.

Either it doesn't really matter to me. .XXX is not competing with adult companies, it's competing with .COM and I'm happy to stick with investing in the development of our .COM sites.

With over 60 million domain names registered the .aero suffix removes the user from the anonymity of the Internet , businesses and organisations adopting .aero will always be found in one place and be instantly recognised as aviation companies.
I'm sure .XXX will make itself lots of money no matter what.
I can't even find a relevant .travel or .aero domain I would ever visit. I see Utah registered a .travel, but I don't plan to visit. |
how many travel sites are their out there? how many porn sites? There is probably more porn sites out there than all other industry type sites combined.
