The combination of XXX TLD and loss of "net neutrality" will seriously affect your revenues as ISPs slow or block access for liability reasons. Look at all the heat Google is getting right now about making money off the adult industry.......times gonna change.

Do something positive and send a letter today....after all, its your business at stake.

Unless we win this battle against .xxx, this could well end up being the death of our present businesses as we know them.

PLEASE send an email to [email protected] NOW!!!!

Dave

bumpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Nothing dies, it is only reborn.

Labor is a bitch.

email sent!

I sent an e-mail asking when .XXX would be available to the general public. Is that ok?

:1orglaugh

but seriosly, posting has certainly increased (http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-tld-agreement/) , but still have 900 short to counter ICM's supposed "1,000 adult webmasters" who wrote in support of .XXX


Fight the sarcasm!

Fifty.......... :)

bumppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Thats what capitalism is all about. Looking out for only yourself and to hell with everyone else.

But I agree, the people get the government they deserve.

I dont know for some reason I want .XXX It just sounds good for the industry I think it will make everything more legit.

location: san antonio, texas

:hi Kyle

Roger....wow...

You are in such a great place to be a leader in this one, you have been around for such a long time, know everyone, and can with a single email get your pals to jump on board, most are big players in this biz.

Maybe even some of the other program owners will come out and do something ANYTHING but talk talk talk ...action boys, do it.








We complain about "politics" now you get to real feel for what is all about, the deals that are made in the back rooms among our politicians, the same shit has happened here ladies and gents with .XXX .....amazing.

Consider sending email to ICANN similar to "voteing" ..you have a voice in this matter, no vote no voice.

Sell me and everyone out over some dollars......and i am sure it wont be that much or be that worth it in the end for you.... think about it.


Oh an Alien ...you are right on the money!

:2 cents:

Have you been smokeing crack nobody has reserves on anything please dont try to confuse people on this subject. This is a legit deal and legit business practices. But for the industry leaders that think they are getting their domains in .xxx they need to keep a close on eye on the updates of .xxx or they will luck out and thats part of the internet you cant exspect just because you have sex.com you sould also have sex.xxx and .net .org .info .sex if they ever put it out. Thats just not possible.

LOL....
Have not smoked crack in 17 years, but thanks anyway....you?
Legit ?

.XXX has not passed yet...its pretty clear by this post who you work for, lol.....your not there yet smokey..... its not a done deal yet.

And oh yeah....dont counting your money before its there also.....





Oh to those who dont read, do you know what these .XXX domains are going to cost?

Well what ever they want first, but the price is around 75 bucks, so do the math, if you have to have multiple domains, $$$


Bend over and be ready for .XXX

I sent an email weeks ago and made a thread on gfy but nobody seems to fucking care. Posts with naked women get more response than serious threads.

Mark

The assumation that "Big Players" are on board .XXX is silly and very illogical.

There are no big players on board, the big players do not give a shit, cuz either way thier business will continue. .XXX is funded by some English dude with no ties to the adult industry. Maybe focus on that.

Instigating Paranoia on to larger firms and companies is nothing more than a tactic in creating distrust of the many successful people that have paid webmasters time and time again for years on a regular uninterrupted.

Nothing like a little self promotion and glorification to throw into the bon fire ehh?

Sad.

Do not act surprised. GFY is nothing more than a tabloid read and surfers site.
Ya try and pull business here you are a fucking retard.

This thread just took a turn for the gutter.

Emailing them now.... COME ON PEOPLE!

i guess that would depend on what you've heard.

Some things that i have heard (these can be urban legends when .XXX gets rejected, or validation when it does get approve):

-an "industry leader" would get paid $50K/month for the 3 months for consulting work to determine who is industry or not, since .XXX domains would first be acquired by those already in the biz.

-other "industry leaders" and organizations would be put in similar positions of being able to determine who could get a .XXX... almost like the .XXX Santa Claus. which surely opens up to some favoritism and first picks.. gee, that's why people wanted to get on the good side of .XXX... hedging their bet with silence that if it does go through, they get preferential treatment

-a "free speech" organization (no longer active) would get some .XXX money, but instead the founder is on retainer with ICM.


but again, i understand the strategic reasons and the financials gains to be had by .XXX supporters. It's the failure of webmasters who have more to lose in having .XXX approved that stand on the sidelines and do nothing, is the shameful part.

Winston Churchill said, "all that is needed for evil to persist is for good men to do nothing."

Another phrase comes to mind:
Cum tacent, clamant - When they remain silent, they cry out. (Their silence speaks louder than words) (Cicero)

I know several good people who are allowing evil to succeed.


Fight the quotes!

FTP - Thats why this shot is right down the middle, which is also why I have felt support for .XXX in the past.

I been around long enough to know our own industry needs protection from scum bags dropping in and cashing out at our expense.

Most honest companies and legit business owners need protection from outsiders that come in and do nothing but exploit us.

Examples of exploitation comes to mind with abusive billing practices, spam, Spyware, traffic jacking, fake hits, fake stats so on and so forth...

You have been exploited, I have been exploited and many many others have been exploited in this biz. A call to regulation is needed. TO a degree .XXX fits the bill before it all gets worse. A good number of my "Contacts" and "Business Associates" that run legit business and honestly go day to day running a respectable business are constantly battling others in fraud and veritable scams played world wide.

We have discussed this before.
Regarding .XXX for a YES or NO it requires an honest and intelligent choice and not a topic un-educated for band wagon followers.

The dumb follow easily and the genuine and intelligent folks evaluate and come to a conclusion, and in my 12 years here this is one of those moments where I am against the issue but very very very lightly so.

Honestly I need more assurances that it would be smooth to make a 100% approval of .XXX. For now .XXX more clarifications are indeed needed by intelligent industry folks. Not morons.

If you are opposed to this and look at the angles...

Definatly say so guys and girls.
Get a letter out.
Opposition to this situation in the industry oughtah be felt.

Just read up on the matter a little and get yer words in. There is time and it is not to late. My thinking is not always nuts on and infact often off, way off.

Just make sure ya put in your concerns regarding the matter.
Every letter counts and not a click drag to trash bin. Everyones thoughts do matter.

:thumbsup

from a pro-.xxx post
:mad: :mad: :mad:

Well, we need to start uniting.. It affects us all and we have to fight to keep ourselves alive. We can't just complain about it and hope that a miracle will happen and make it all go away. It's time for us to unite.

Everyone needs to remember that if no one fights we all lose.

You said it man. :thumbsup

it really is amazing sometimes how technically qualified people can be so ignorant.

1) I get more non-porn spam these days in my inbox

2) how does having .XXX control porn? The whole point of .XXX was not to control porn, but yet, people want it to be used that way?!?!?!? That alone should be clear grounds for ICANN to not approve.


Fight the dot stupid!
