Sent my email... Everyone do the same, speak up now or lose your vote.

There's too many holes in this plan, just the logistics of it...

How do they even propose to assign .xxx to the existing multiple versions of a name? Who gets first pick etc??

What about borderline sites? Micro-bikini sites? Non-nude sensual sites? Who judges each site to say they're adult or not?

This applies to US webmasters only?

What a mess...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh just like the adult community to wait til the last minute and then panic. this whole issue would have could have been avoided if the adult community for once united and lobbied for alternative ideas like .kids domain. is it clear to any of you know as to why many people have been silently moving offshore over the last year....

whatever, I'm bringing my own lube

I sent my email

where they were?

Waiting - then buying domains that smaller owners couldnt afford.

the quiet ones are those who'll benefit $ the most from this .....

:thumbsup
Make sure you hit the confirm link back to your email, it shows up a day later or sometimes that very day....i posted on the 5th showed up later that day.


Rock the Vote....NO ON .XXX = email by you saying just that !

:thumbsup

Hey jonesy...whats happen fellow brotha ....

Yeah you might be right , I sat with some large program owners at the Phoenix Forum and the stance is to fight in court to get there .com...but that is costly and ?

The ones that stay quiet that are the dangerous ones are the ones that have already grabbed the good domains that will do best, and the all the traffic deals that have been made "back room style"......so crazy..just like our political system, deals to make deals........

But, the Vote, ICANN is listening and wants to see if the claims by .XXX that our ENTIRE INDUSTY is for this .XXX....ICANN does not know the difference, so the burden is on us as a "whole" to show that is just not true.:2 cents:

I filled the form / emailed ,
what a nightmare ...

208 e-mails received when I looked one minute ago, wow, amazing !

thank the (Thumb) Lord I am living in Europe LOL

Fitty times fucked up the ass

you can email them nevertheless :2 cents:

lol
folks dont realize this is a world wide lock down......:warning

That page of archives has only grown by about 100n since yesterday.

How often does that archive page update?

mail sent! :)

every few hours

EVERYONE Should send their email!

Guys don't be lazy and spend 5 minutes of your time to write a damn email. Every email helps. Whats wrong with you? Unite for once, every vote counts. It's better to spend 5 minutes than be forced to deal with finding offshore hosting, new sponsor links etc.

JFK..nice letter up there...


Nothing makes me more mad than someone thinking we dont do shit, so far that was right, its changin slowly...

I choose not to get bent over by .XXX ...

bump :) bump :)

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I used my name, too. I think it gives the comment more legitimacy than when it comes from a nickname or personae.

Bump for this thread

I received my confirmation :thumbsup . I sent my statements in on Friday and received the confirmation today. If you have filed, it may take a while to hear back from them.

I am amazed there is not a bigger turnout or chatter on any board you go too. I am beginning to think that people are just not aware that this issue is sitting in there lap; or they just don't care.

I was reading on another board and the person was saying why bother, seriously, what's the point. If we all have this attitude we will go no where together.



Get out and voice that opinion :thumbsup

i thought icann through this out alreadY???????????????

Nikki_Licks:thumbsup

That person that says "why bother" ...there will always be people such as that in this world, its what makes us so interesting, but the majority needs to step up...

Also you cant let "one person" say "dont bother" those that say that there are many reasons, one being, they would be the same ones that would step over you if you were on fire.....some just want to live with there heads in the sand.

:thumbsup

Once before, its like a "bad penny" .....................keeps comin back...



Going to get thrown out again........(fingers crossed)

I have emailed my objection, but it seems as if the only way this industry will ever pull itself together is when we finally get hit by the proverbial last straw.

For now, what should be important discussions (and not only on this board) rarely get either the views or the contributions of the average "Would you hit it" thread. It is extremely unusual for any major operator to participate in such threads at all. And when another piece of the ceiling does fall down, there are never any sanctions against those who made it happen, nor against those who did nothing to prevent it.

As to .xxx, I suspect that most of those who have given it more than a passing thought, see it as another opportunity to make money. That most will never make a dime, but we will all end up spending more, just makes the general lack of reaction all the more pathetic.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut the hell up already, .xxx is great

jayeff...well said.....

I stood right there in Florida at Internext last year, just after the .XXX panel, having the main partner in the .XXX, tell me " they banked on the fact our industry would not do a thing" ....they might be right, its still not a done deal, and the fact that ICANN put the brakes on it, gives us some hope, and time.

Sad and very pathetic........................ like you said most would rather not be bothered until that day comes when they are shit out of luck on there domains and they cant make the car or house payment.

So i say to the lazy ass "know it all" webmaster, there are so many reasons to just send an email and vote, all the very same reasons they give us to vote in any election.

Vote = email to ICANN -- be part of something, stand up for your biz

No Vote = bend over sheep and no lube for you....

ill throw some names out there like hustler, playboy and vivid.

what the word on these guys?

what icann needs to see/read is not a bunch of emails by people saaying "xxx sucks" or "I oppose xxx" (unless it was serious numbers like say 5 , 10 20 thousand ?) but an actual study, like a business plan outlining how fucked up .xxx is from a firm , group , collective ect of repsected persons or companies.

every little bit helps though, so dont get me wrong.:thumbsup

good ole freedom is the usa.:1orglaugh

Remember: Send a mail with every email address you control

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Bump for you Mike - sent my email in a week or so ago :thumbsup

what is everyones point of attack. What is the argument against it going to be?

Interesting. I am waiting to see 2 that I sent in and confirmed 5 hours ago show up.

Odd... mine showed up in about 10 minutes. Make sure you are looking at the "chronological index" - http://forum.icann.org/lists/xxx-tld...ent/index.html - because the other (threaded) is a bit wierd, putting unrelated mails into the same threads because they happen to have the same title. I couldn't find my own mail in that version of the display.

How many legal US gambling sites are there?
