Dot xxx renewal time approaches.... what is the consensus of opinion?
I have been waiting for somebody else to start a thread like this but as nobody else has, (that I have seen), I will......
I may be wrong, but it felt to me that most people that snapped up .xxx names last year did so for brand protection or out of fear that somebody else would snatch something they had the dot com for. I know I fall into that category. Of course there were those who bought up what they considered premium domains, with a view to quickly flip, or hold and sell for millions, but I think that the domain price and the fact that most really prime names were held back, contributed to fewer players in that game, and to be honest, I can't remember either noticing an active dot xxx website, or seeing any being re-sold. Marketing also seems to have died out and basically, it looks shot to me although they are probably banking on some major renewal dollars which could fund some more marketing campaigns however with renewal notices at around $90 a domain dropping in the mailboxes, I am sure many like me are wondering if it is worth it. I am still undecided to be honest, and wondered what other peoples' views were. Will you be walking away, or will you be staying in for the duration? Those that are walking away, post what you might be dropping. You never know somebody might want to take it off your hands. I will start. Will hold my own brands, but thinking of dropping camgirlchat.xxx

I can't believe you guys bought into this scam anyway?
And with none of them ranking well in google... and only 1 paysite I know of using one... and with manwin saying they won't do business with any of them... and with the price tag... and with ALL .xyz TLD's becoming available in the near future... Why pay more? |

I have noticed an influx of attempts to sell really dumb ass .xxx domain name lately.
BLA.XXX Seriously? Someone is really trying to push that off as a premium domain name. webcam-sex.xxx Because domain names with a dash in them are always premium. -rolls eyes- I just want to smack all those dumb asses that spent thousands and thousands of dollars of domain names like this with the intent to sell them off later on for a profit. If those dumb asses just want to piss away money then give me a call. You can just give it to me for free.

We are now all a year wiser, and it is the opinions of those who initially protected their brands or dotcoms that I am most interested in, not the people who didn't and do not therefore have renewals to consider.

I wonder also whether the same folks that plan on renewing their .xxx domains are also planning on grabbing their .sex, .porn and .adult domains to match?
http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/11/tech...main/index.htm Seems as though pre-reg is already underway? http://www.uniteddomains.com/new-top...-registration/ I guess if you already own the .xxx you get to have the other tlds for free (at least the .porn), at least that is what wikipedia says... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.porn

The entire problem with dot xxx is that SL extorted people into protecting their image. The 2nd is the exorbitant price tag.

I've renewed all of mine, even the one I'm selling in my sig. I've developed all of the domains and plan on continuing that development through the next year. I think it's way too early to sell anything or to judge the true value of the domains. Especially with 3 other extensions automatically reserved for each .xxx domain you own.

someone posted a site before that had numbers of domains registered and how many were dropped etc but I can't find it. Would be interesting to see how high a % actually renew.

Just remember, at the point you renew your .xxx, you'll have spent the cost of about 20-25 com/net/org domains total on it, or one or two better com/net/org domains. Are you getting your money's worth over either of those?

I don't have any but I am sure A LOT of people aren't going to renew.
I might be wrong but I do remember something about defensive registrations for a one-time fee, not a yearly recurring one. So ICM is going to see a HUGE drop in their sales. Uncle Lawley saw this coming too, so he applied for .sex, .porn and .porno now. |

But there is no need for other variations of adult TLDs. That's the purpose of .xxx No other TLDs, unless small unheard of ones, have multiple versions for the same purpose. ie specific country, mobile (failed), education, job related, etc. But there is absolutely no reason for more adult TLDs at all except for registries to make more money.. ![]()

Their search thingly kinda flopped without any more traffic so .xxx holders are kinda screwed as you will not be seeing any extra perks for the high registration/renewal prices.
You might as well just buy a .info domain for a few bucks a year and get much more traffic as your domain is not blocked by entire countries |

To the original point, we defensively registered the .xxx and will renew for that reason alone. It is simply a redirect to our .com though, no SEO or anything specific to that TLD. It sucks to have to throw money away like that, but we're trying to build a brand here...

I saw .XXX for what it was from a million miles away and refused to buy one.
Except for the biggest brands even defensive registrations didn't make sense as most brands do not buy every single TLD. For anyone that did buy XXX... due to Sandy I have an amazing deal on a bridge for you. HMU |

never brought one, and I see no point in them, search for porn, not a single .xxx domain in the first 100 results, search engines do not associate adult based searches to .xxx, so imo they are pointless, and they were a massive con and i refuse to line these assholes' pockets.

If they're overlooked enough and no one embraces them, then at the end of the day users/people searching won't even have them in their evoke set.
More they're overlooked/not used, the better. So no renewals/new regs from me! |

Absolutely, even before we started registering domains. I don't have a lot of faith in that as a sole means of protection though - we've been getting nowhere with Twitter in a different trademark dispute case and we even have the freaking reg. no. from the PTO.

Just open a WIPO case when someone starts to use it, or email them at that time that they are using a trademarked name and ask them to hand over the domain. |
