I had anticipated picking up a couple .xxx's in the future as a backup in the event that happened, but I figured I would wait for them to adjust the pricing once they realize it was
a mistake and total failure. Now if a Bible thumper makes it into the Presidency in the upcoming election here in the US, I may reconsider my time frame.
I mean no one wanted it to begin with, whether it was bible thumpers or those in the porn industry.. but they wanted to extort people to gain revenue, so they blatantly ignored everyone.
I have said all along the only possible outcome from .xxx will be negative one.. aside from the ridiculous pricing that would eat up a good chunk of profit margins, there is also issue of blocking and/or some countries forcing their citizens who own porn sites to use .xxx as a red light district.. just like they restrict adult businesses here in the USA (strip clubs, theaters, adult stores are restricted by zoning to certain areas).
I have over 1000 sites.. if I were to switch, that would translate to like $100,000+ a year instead of $8,000+ a year.. which would leave just enough revenue remaining to pay my hosting and employees... of course then I would also have to live in a cardboard box and eat at the soup kitchen.... I wonder if comcast will allow internet service to a cardboard box?
