RE: .XXX and other stupid things...
Well, I just got a call that I am not speaking on the .XXX panel. That is ok I guess cause when I first started posting about all this bullshit, about .XXX I spoke to the group fighting this, and what is shocking to me is this:
1. Why has the FSC not issued a letter directly to ICANN saying they are 100% not for this ? 2. Why didn?t Larry Flynt come out against this clear blow against freedom of speech? 3. Why is everyone so afraid or unable to just do something to say they are against this deal? Simple letters to ICANN saying they are opposed to the idea. 4. Not one single letter on behalf of anyone I have spoken to about this .XXX has been recorded to the ICANN group that I am aware of. So according to them we are all for this 60 dollar domain take over our internet and move us to the Ghetto deal. Last but not least, I am going to sit in front of the room and ask the owner and Jason of this .XXX why they would use children to clearly make this huge business deal. I don?t get it? If it?s so great then why not just say "hey it?s a new domain, blah blah blah, but the using of our children to sell some business idea just makes me want to throw up. ![]() Don?t get me wrong I am all for good business this is not, they will make millions of dollars and then there is the issues of all our domains personally be swiped by whom ever, then the Govt showing great interest in this leading me to believe that the control of our industry is near a danger point indeed. I have blasted on the boards and made phone calls, and gone out on a limb on this, those who said they would do something clearly have not, so I am now going to concentrate on the business at hand with Smashbucks, we have so much great stuff coming out, it?s sick. ![]()

Kinda sucks doesnt it Mike?
I am telling ya why... The industry needs regulation and the legit companies in this industry know it and they are tired of dealing with scammers and competing with companies that go below the letter of the law in many facets from abusive spam practice to Unsolicited advertising to giving porn to kids via TGP's. Not to mention the loss of content value accross the board. The small people will die out and thats a good thing in my book. I do not want them and I guess alot of other companies realise this to.

Its not a crime to capitalise on opportunity.
Welcome to capitalism. This particular aspect of capitlism is much needed. This industry is burning at both ends. Its a good time to cut the losses and recover as a legitamate industry in not only the USA, but the world. I seen the structures IFFOR is scoring out, it looks good to me in some ways. though I wish the Non Profits that defend our industry would get with the ball game. They know it makes perfect sense and the denial sucks.

.XXX is a positive thing in my book and I'm all for it. If you feel threatened by any future implications (which I do not feel will happen) of .XXX I would suggest you take them up with the relevant authority (ie, the US government) rather than the ICM Registry.
For parents, .XXX is a positive and it is a good selling point. Please explain to me how .XXX will have a negative impact on children |

PS: Mike
I really like you man I really do and I very much enjoy'd debating the topic with you and others. SmashBucks is a great program, your a great leader for it and my hats will always go off to you for patience and a serious "Go get em" attitude. Seriously your one of the greats that have alot of concern for this industry I respect that alot and I can not express that hardly enough.

I dont understand how it is going to have a positive impact on children. Children are only being used to "sell" this, nothing more, and if you think that have a new TLD .XXX is going to make children safer you are being Naive. ![]() |

I think that is just the worry though Cains, that adult will be FORCED onto .XXX . I am not against anything that will improve this industry at all. I just dont see this as an improvment at all. just another way to make those that have, more. P.S. I understand your point there totally on the filtering part. |

For one, that would not just mean US citizens, it would mean ICANN would have to meet and decide to enforce this law across the board, never going to happen. The next roadblock would be how to enforce it, how many sites are on the internet, what is the definition of adult? Let's ignore those for the sake of argument, everyone simply buys a .XXX and forwards their .com's to the .XXX site. It would work because filtering software would still detect you going to a .XXX site. The negative is .XXX costs more than .COM, well if you're not making more than $60 per domain I'd think you're either guilty of buying domains for SEO spam or you're not really earning enough to even pay your hosting account. .XXX is voluntary and will remain so, it's time we embrace it instead of trying to find arguments against it |

Of course you've been kicked off the panel Mike - you can't have a discussion when there's someone on the panel that might disagree with the guys who have the money and the power.
It wouldn't surprise me if your place hasn't already been filled by AlienQ. Speaking of whom, dear God I wish there was someway to filter out his drivel from the quotes. Having him and his inane prattlings filtered bu the ignore feature is wonderful but then we get it served up to us when someone quotes him. He's not a webmaster and he's not even much of a designer so why the fuck he's even here sure beats me.

It doesn't take much to flag someone in a data base and it would be an easy hit to grab a foreign pornographer while he was coming into the US to further damage the morals of the good citizens of that great country.

This .xxx would ruin years of branding, and besides that, say if person A owns porn.com and person B owns the .net version how are they to decide who gets the .xxx? Is it maybe just supposed to be up for grabs, first come first served? I don't see this commin through with out some heavy compensation claims. .xxx would be really cool if they allow porn to be on .com's etc. But not if they bann it... |

Once again Alien obfuscates this and spins it away from the real issue...Mike you answered your own question
you were scratched from the panel because you see this for the money grab that it is by ICMR and you see the potential damage that will befall this industry.... Theres a rat someplace....what are they gonna do nix Conner next and fill the panel with scoundrels likes Walters and Picconalli who would trample a thousand babies in an effort to steal a dollar from their mothers? I only wish I was gonna be there I hope someone will have the balls to speak for me

Actually your response to Mike's statement disappointed me. Up until now you have argued your point of view with reason and well chosen words. To try and dismiss and label someone who has far more insight into this industry than you might as believing in some sort of grand conspiracy shows that you're beginning to go the same way as our dearly retarded friend. If you can't beat them with logic then dismiss them with loonie labels. ![]()
