95% of the spam I get is non porn related. So like you, I get more non porn spam than anything else. When it is porn related spam it's some fucking CP shit which I report.

What the fuck's with people that think .XX will help stop anything? Do they realize that this.XXX shit is all about bringing us down and not protecting the children? Christ, why can't people see behind the bullshit they feed us. No wonder this world is so fucking weak.


Like you said "fight the .stupid"

also, how the fuck will .xxx stop porn spam? The spammers email the shit to people so it will not stop anything porn related. Only difference is that the links to porn sites in the spam will be www.whatever.xxx. I guess because they made drugs like weed, cocaine, heroin etc.. illegal it stopped people from getting it? lol

Any paysites or webmaster resource boards interested in mailing out to their affiliates/members about posting up to ICANN???

please do it now to atleast give your affiliates/members the chance to weigh in. Not everyone reads the boards, or are aware of this issue (there are still people to this day who don't have any clue about what Acacia is about).


Fight the inquiry!

and to be perfectly honest. If it was specifically for protecting children the first place they should look is in the home. The parents bought their children a computer knowing full well that the internet was flooded with porn that their children may see. Yet, they don't get any filtering software and allow their kids to use the computer unsupervised.. Oh, but that's our fault, right? Sure, .xxx will protect the innocent children from seeing porn.. Riiiiiiiight! It's all about controlling us, ruining us.. Sex is bad, but murder, violence on tv, swearing is all fine thoough.. What a fucking world. When can I get myself a spaceship and leave this shit hole?

while this is a very good idea ( althoguh a little late maybe ), couldn't talking to ICANN directly or sending them formal letters be better?

do they really care if there are 200 emails or 400 emails from adult webmasters? they are not going to read them all anyway, so unless they are following them daily, then - f.e your emails sent 2 days ago to them probably won't be read anymore, because they will be already hidden on 2nd page

http://www.icann.org/general/board.html

here's the ICANN board of directors - maybe emailing each of them as individually as possible, could help a little too? ( this is my proposal to you and not everyone who will just write with broken english "xxx is stupid, ok? i dont want it" )

all ( or some ) of these ICANN board directors are going to debate .xxx and then probably vote on .xxx and I doubt all of them will read carefully the public comments page - while all of them must read their own emails ( at least I hope so )

If you haven't already sent in a comment, do it now before it is too late.

great post by Andrew Gage of barebackjack.com
http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-tld.../msg00143.html

"Eight years ago, I championed the idea of .xxx as a viable means of parental
filtering of adult-content websites, however in the course of these 8 years the technology of the internet and political focus have changed making .xxx more of a danger to the adult entertainment business than a help to families. "


There were many ppl 6-8 years ago that also thought .XXX might be a good idea, and might be a way to help protect children as well as to offer a red light district section of the internet that might keep government action away.

Like Andrew wrote about, alot has changed in the last few years, in particular 2257.

Those that thought .XXX was a good idea and supported it back then, who now, have a much different opinion should write to ICANN directly, especially if you gave an endorsement.

Whatever letter you provided to ICM back then was shown to ICANN as "proof" that the adult industry wants .XXX

It is that "proof" they showed back years ago that has allowed .XXX proposal to continue.

You can take back your vote of support by contacting ICANN to retract it. Contact me and i can forward you the email address to use. I will, as i have always done with the acacia issue, keep all correspondances private.

i have no interest in "outing" individuals and companies that support .XXX in the past, and now wish to retract. I understand the reasons why you may have done so in the past, and will respect your privacy by keeping your retraction interests confidential.

The good intent in the past has created the problem we face today. If you want to help correct this for your own conscious and maybe for some chance that you can undo what has been done, feel free to contact me.

Fight the second thoughts!

bump for important post!!

i guess you're the person who sent 15 times this message:

hell WE DONT LIKE .XXX! no way!

while quantity is certainly needed.. some level of quality as well.

please only send one email expressing your concerns (not from each domain you have)... we're not looking to spam the list.. that will only serve to prove to those about the "bad marketing practices" that has been tagged to the adult industry.



Fight the Spam Can!

its sad but it wont happen, the big fish think this going to be a goldmine so they are being quiet. Lightspeed, RogerV, Vega,rick latona, Ron Cadwell, Lens for example I see none of their names as posters on the icann forum. It seems Dave Cummings is the only one who can see long term so far, I wish I was wrong.

Big guys, PLEASE support your/our future by going to [email protected] and telling them "NO on .xxx"
AND
Actively/quickly influence other powerful folks/affiliates/members to do likewise ASAP before the ICANN meeting this Wednesday.

Thanks,

Dave

bUmP for the NO on .XXX

Vote or forever stay quiet and wished you did....

Voting is as easy as sending an email to say NO

Bump for the above--thanks, Mike!

Idiots thinking that they can grab .XXX extensions from someone that has already the .com or .net should get the heads out of their asses, you won't be getting shit so don't sleep on that ear.

i believe it's a fake... see the mispeling of the email address, and it was mailed from a yahoo account.

If they pull off the .xxx extension, the next step will be all the ISP's installing filters to block it. Then the government is going to force the major search engines to filter out anything with a .xxx TLD. IE will be set to block .xxx also.
-------------------------

my reply

ISP won't filter out porn or .XXX or ICRA ratings or whatever. Porn and P2P are the major drivers for high speed bandwidth. The consumers wants access to porn, and the ISP merely provide the conduit.

If a parent wants to pay extra for their ISP to do filtering, they absolutely have that right. So if an ISP uses a blacklist, .XXX, ICRA rating, etc, there is nothing wrong with that... a parent or individual that doesn't want to see porn, is never going to be customer, so there is nothing lost by filtering.

IE already has the PICS setting that people can block out porn based on the PICS/ICRA rating. Again, there is nothing wrong with this, since the kind of people who want filtering, aren't customers anyways.

And lastly, yes, search engines SHOULD be doing some kind of filtering, and they don't need .XXX for that.. plenty of other ways to do so.

So to stay back on track with this thread target, yes, it will be landgrab for some... let them. Let them rush to spend their $75/domain and let them be the first ones to get blocked!

:)

Stick with your .com and vote against .XXX by not getting the domain. Getting a .XXX domain and not using it, is the same thing as voting for it... you think you are hedging your bet, but what you are doing is sticking money into ICM's bank account.

What happens when lawsuits start hitting ICM, that they are distracted or don't have the funds to set up the infrastructure to handle the volume of lookups for .XXX?

Your money and your .XXX sit in limbo.

If your money is going to be sitting somewhere, it should be making you money.

Fight the .XXX!

Bump for Big B...
