is .com necessary

Do you guys think having a .com is necessary or will domain extentions like .net .biz .us and others do just fine when .com is taken?

Dot com is easier for MOST surfers to remember cuz that's all they know. And it's the best for typ-in traffic. But any extension will work just fine...and the SEs won't know the difference. I wouldn't say .net is much better tho. Personally, I try for dot com first...and if I can't get that, then dot net, then dot org...and so on.

it really depends on what you are going to be using the domain name for. for gallery posting it don't matter at all, a paysite, yeah .com is better, a TGP it's 50/50 and really not important if you are a script driven site.

I think it just depends on what kind of site you run.. If you care about branding it's important, if you don't need to care, then don't..
