    leave the .xxx alone, they are worth nothing & you need a plug-in to view them

        No thanks on .xxx proposals... if we all had .xxx domain names, imagine the impact when companies like Yahoo and Google were pressured by the right into banning all .xxx submissions. And if we didn't all use them, then what's the point?

            I wouldn't embrace .xxx too much I can see that congress will
            probably have some stupid bill saying all adult material *must*
            be on a .xxx domain. I know it sounds stupid when you think of
            sites that have been around since domains were free but this is
            politicians we're talking about.

                        if .xxx was a real TLD

                        browsers/search-engines will have .xxx blocked by default,
                        and most users will not even be aware they're being filtered,
                        yet alone figre out how to turn it off.

                        and many ISPs will just block .xxx completely
                        so they can advertise how safe/family-friendly they are.

                        the US gov't may try to force all porn onto .xxx
                        which will leave only foreign sites available.

                          Pros are the chicks

                          Cons are the bustas


                          That can be read many ways...

                            Bullshit, it is quite easy to turn off the adult filter on any search engine, and I doubt it would change simply because .xxx came along. Personally, I think .xxx would be an alright idea, as it would allow for greater regulation of an industry which quite obviously can not regulate itself.

                                              http://www.registerfly.com/ looks like they just added all the new.net extentions to their sites... that's a good thing.. more people will start getting them now and hopefully not need the plugin anymore.

                                                      The truth is it might be actually be a good thing but webmasters are typcially too short sighted and small minded to see the bigger picture. The public wants porn, they aren't passively going to let the government outlaw and ban it totally and true .xxx extension won't require a fucking plugin.

                                                        Regulations could be bad. And if .xxx were forced by Congress, it's hard to say what is considered pornographic or borderline adults. An art museum in NewYork City was considered pornographic a year or two.

                                                          since we're predicting the future,
                                                          here is IMHO the most likely scenario:
                                                          (in this hypothetical .xxx world)

                                                          - government requires all porn behind .xxx domains

                                                          - family-friendly ISPs block .xxx domains.
                                                          'protecting kids' is a successful advertising angle.

                                                          - millions of Moms demand their familys use these ISPs

                                                          - business also block .xxx for obvious reasons

                                                          Dad now cannot access your sites from home or work.

                                                          You lose a huge percentage of the potential market.
                                                          (pussy-whipped men who would otherwise surf while wife is gone)

                                                          Of course this leaves foreign sites not subject to US regulation;
                                                          their sites will still be accessible. So it's a good thing for them.

                                                            Just to hit my point again.


                                                            If you want to be an easy target....
                                                            Support .xxx

                                                            If you want to have an easier time remaining in the business....
                                                            No NOT support .xxx


                                                            It might seem "cool" to have a .xxx domain but tell that to PK or
                                                            thehun when they get an email from ICANN saying "You must
                                                            move all adult content from thehun.net over to thehun.xxx before
                                                            xx/xx/xx or your sites domain will be put on-hold.

                                                            Some idiot comes up with a stupid idea to regulate which
                                                            domains we can and cannot use and it'd be *us* that has to do
                                                            the hard work and pay the price.

                                                            After trying 5 different hosts, I found the best.

                                                            Fast support, great techs, no hype, no gimmicks.

                                                            <- I in no way endorse whatever just got stuck on the left of my post.
