Shemp, I love you man. I have a feeling you might already know what you're going to do but like Fletch said below, this is business. You aren't some multi million dollar conglomerate and turning down money from something that we might not have wanted but is here now would be silly. You will have idiots yelling about it but they do that already.

politics has no place in business in my opinion. This is capitalism.

Exactly.

Temporarily or from the ones that are going to short circuit and go off the deep end anyhow. How many were never going to do any kind of business with any company that owned or had any minor relation to a tube site? Companies are gone today because of this stupid attitude.

no offense but either you act professional regarding business or you do not.
every 6 months gfy has a new witch to burn... and as we have seen with everything from tubes to .xxx the loyalty ends when the checks start coming.  |
New witch, new threats, new liars being exposed several months later when they come crawling back and say they just have to do what they said they'd never do because everyone else is. "Don't blame us, we took a hard stance and lost money over it!"
I don't blame them for being stupid, but stupid is what it is.

If we all had 60 million visitors a day, it would be a different story. I won't be buying any .xxx, but I'm not going to hold anything against someone who does.

This.

i surely have been contacted regarding a few startups. And if anyone thinks no one is going forward with .xxx sites, think again. It is coming.
I just brought it up since shemp made this thread.
As i said, this is business. And it deserves discussion.

Yep. I keep trying to tell people that this is not a .info and will be a huge part of the industry in the near future. Ostriches, so many ostriches.

This seems to be capitalist position.

Paying $100 for a damn domain name has no bearing on what other services are worth. $100 per YEAR is such a non issue in business and spending an extra $90 on your domain does not make you rich / stupid / anything else. If I go buy a .com from someone for $500 everyone should charge me extra because I'm stupid?

This shit is getting old people. 8 years later and there are still a bunch of morons telling everyone else how things are. Grow up, you've never been right before and you're probably not right this time either.
