My question about registrar pricing was legitimate. Registration is indifferent from hosting in our business, simply a logical value added service that currently is referred out to a white label of Wild West Domains as a convenience. My fishing was just exactly that, to solicit feedback. I have already stated my position on the subject and that hasn't changed. My point was simple, there exists a mechanism to reduce the profiteering by 50% at least from this first registrar announcement if a few entities did it at a true wash on costs.
We already host over 700 adult companies on more than 1500 servers representing somewhere around 70000 or more adult domains. I don't need marketing tricks or gimmicks. We are committed to the adult community as a whole and always have substantial new business moving to and growing within our ranks.

So which one of your customers is doing business with .xxx then ?

no, it's better off at $130 so less people will buy it. If you make it cheaper more will be purchased. The less purchased, the more irrelevant it becomes. The more irrelevant the more likely it will fade away and be a flop and less likely to be forced over too.
And if you do do it, 95% of the people will think you are doing it for the money unless you did it at $0 profit, but I am sure you would add in something for yourself if you did it.

For example I am a Graphic Designer however I have no intentions of turning down business for an .XXX based site design. Other graphic designer's wont be as bold as me publicly stating it, but rest assured they will do it just like me.
Shoot me for being honest...
I do not like .XXX but I wont turn down a buck.
Got mouths to feed and bills to pay and who will pay me not to develop and design them domains? No one...
It's only a loss to decline business and someone else will gladly do it and no one will know the difference except my pocket book, so fuck that.

You would have a good job AlienQ if you didn't bad mouth the company you worked for on GFY.
