There have been dozens of sites that have sold .xxx domains, and I'm sure all had a sex.xxx. Most are gone now. Robin's TLDNS, mentioned above, was one of the more widely installed in maybe early 2000, but a few months after starting TLDNS, he retired from the industry to persue his dream of opening a nursing home with his wife, or something like that. The thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of people who had switched their DNS settings to TLDNS suddenly couldn't reach anything on the Internet, and no doubt placed thousands of calls to their ISPs trying to set things right again. Similar fates have befallen most other sellers and users of ICANN-unauthorized extensions.
