If a newbie was getting into the adult game now, why purchase a 5 word .com when you can get a good 1 or 2 word .xxx and build a brand. (of course not infringing on anyone's trademark) so many good .com's still have parked pages.

No, but I am tinkering around with one at the moment, as far as billing I don't run my own programs, I am just an affiliate.

That's what they are waiting for. Oh and a nice free Idea of how to develop them out as well.

As stated previously in this thread, there are some ridiculously named .com's out there that have made it big. What many people fail to realize is that you have to know how to actually brand your product. Don't think just because you have a .com, .xxx or .whatever that it's going to take off.

Now, I am on the fence about having to be successful in one TLD in order to be successful in another (.com vs. .xxx). I rode the dot-com boom and have been in the industry steadily, the entire time; non-adult. Really, it's all business. If you choose to push your brand and name it something god awful or use whatever TLD you think is going to help you get to where you want to be, then that's your choice.

Everything I keep reading about the anti-xxx-TLD is becoming tiresome. I know there are some legitimate concerns about it, but it's almost as if the majority is jumping on the anti-bandwagon just because it's the the to do - just like what happened with tube site discussion here on GFY.
don't stress it, the same guys who hated the tubes all have secret tubes and buy traffic from them too, now the .xxx haters are searching for .xxx domains and are pissed the good ones are gone...so of course they are going to be upset.
