    teen in domain name is ok?

    I hold several domains that have this word in the domain and they are all adult in nature, is this a problem under new legislation and visa regs? All models are over 18 of course and in fact the sites just link to 3rd party adult sites.

      If you are using them to submit galleries you might have a problem with a few places that don't like the word.

          I didn't know that....strange with all the sites that have Teen in their domain name

          I do know that when the drama all started, 2 of the networks I get bonus feeds from for my members areas required all their links and terms for sites that said "young" , they all had to be switched to "Teen" was a mess

              that's stupid... teen is the biggest niche out there. If you can even call it a niche, its so big.

                I've picked up some good teen domains over the years and I am letting them drop as they expire.

                  I was talking to CCBill about this very subject...and, I believe it was PSW who had banned the word teen.

                  According to CCBill, it's not the word 'teen'...it's other words around it, like:

                  preteen
                  lolita
                  young teen

                  etc.

                  From our discussion, I did not get the impression that VISA was going to ban the actual word; however, it was suggested that any text should make it very clear these teens are eighteen and older.
