for what it is worth I just sent 1 email from every domain I have mail for. 6 emails sent all a little different subject / body so it is not obvious it is from the same person. Hopefully i can pick up some dead weight from some of the slackers here.

I also sent a nice long thought out one a few weeks back.

I don't think there's anyone monitoring more closely .xxx than I do... :)

why would GoDaddy change their position? they are a registrar, they profit from it

they sent a letter supporting .xxx to ICANN and that's it

I can be wrong but Im 99% sure I am right on this

do you think they read GFY, say they do. Did i give the email addresses i sent from? There is no way they would know, I could be lieing for all they know.

Ok let me throw them off track.


I sent 200 emails from 200 different domains, now they can spend all week trying to figure out which 200 were mine :1orglaugh

Unless you were working or somehow connected with .XXX

VINTON CERF & ICANN SUPPORT IRRESPONSIBLE WEBMASTERS?

* To: xxx-icm-agreement@xxxxxxxxx
* Subject: VINTON CERF & ICANN SUPPORT IRRESPONSIBLE WEBMASTERS?
* From: "Jeff Knows All" <jeffknowsall@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear Vinton Cerf and the ICANN Board:


What possible benefit could there be for a responsible successful adult webmaster to post their support for .xxx?

Let's consider what would happen if a responsible online adult company were to post their support for .xxx to the ICANN public comment board:

1. The FBI is guarranteed to add them to their list and move them relatively high up. Most of the successful adult webmasters have been operating quietly and successfully for many years now. Those companies have either made enough money to move Canada (where they operate with complete freedom) or moved to one of many islands putting them completely outside US jurisdiction. That leaves California as a pretty intelligent place for the Federal Bearau of Investigation to focus its efforts. Last I checked, the FBI has inspected 10 companies. Only two (2) passed without violations according to Special Agent Chuck Joyner. 80&#37; success rate. That should make both Bush and the FRC very pleased.

2. Suffer the wrath of the famous GoFuckYourself.com board bloggers Mike Hawk and Mike South? Are those even their real names? I did some quick searches on these two characters on Google:

GOOGLE SEARCH OF MIKE SOUTH:
http://www.lukeisback.com/archives/a...tes/991126.htm


"Heather Jade claims Mike South took without a release, sold and posted without permission images sexually explicit images of her when she was underage. No charges were pressed. "The pictures were supposed to be sent to Penthouse. Because Mike South said that he had connections. And the other guy said that he was going to send them to Playboy. And that was it. That's all the pictures were supposed to be used for. So they could look at them and tell me if I was all right looking to be a Penthouse Pet or a Playboy whatever..." There were just two photographers, Mike South and another guy. They said they just wanted to take pictures because they were taking pictures of all the other girls there. And nobody else signed a model release. He was real nice... I didn't think that he'd take my pictures and blow them up all over the place. He assured me that those were for his own personal use [masturbation?], you know, for him. He has a whole portfolio of girls... And that was all he said that they were to be used for." MIKE SOUTH

GOOGLE SEARCH OF MIKE HAWKE:
http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/ambush/mikehawk.htm


"i was the DJ, and played some major parties and clubs aroud town with a fake ID at the time. With a big bag of Cocaine and some money I walked into a little radio station at the time KROQ here in Pasadena." With a big bag of Cocaine and some money I walked into a little radio station at the time KROQ here in Pasadena, to buy ad time and get a club off the ground, later the DJ that did my spots, they hired him, then he became one of there top DJ"s...Richard Blade."

How did so many online adult companies become so self-confident? Clearly, they've been partying in LA for too long. My sense is that the conservative US government powers that be are just looking for an easy victory in the battle for public oppinion. It would seem to me, that child pornography and the harvesting of children for pornographic websites is an excellent target.

3. The opportunity cost of labeling every single webpage/website, putting up proper warning pages as oppossed to SPAMMING customers and creatively driving traffic would seem to be a much better investment of capital. However, if I don't have to label yet, why bother?

4. Unfortunately, I do not own shares in .xxx, nor do I have any traffic arrangement with the company. But I can assure you, were they to offer me shares to secure my domain names, I and every adult webmaster world-wide would be pre-registering.

Assuming ICM guarrantee's that I can pre-register my current inventory of domain names, I would support .xxx.

Zester...........for real i can tell you 150% that the .XXX group reads every post we put up here, i know this first hand...second almost every program owner in this biz at one point during the week checks in on GFY, or has someone working for them on this board checking out what is going on in our world.

So....why they dont post up, some have , we have , others have ....its round two of this long drawn out battle with this .XXX group....we won the first battle, how they got it back up for a vote again, is beyond me...but again, we have to re post or remind or do what ever to create as much info we are AGAINST .XXX ...

:2 cents:

Ask your program you promote ..."did you post up a letter to Icann regarding .XXX? " ...see what they say, if everyone asked each program, lol

I am an adult webmaster working in the adult online business. I am also
a veteran of the USAF and a decorated E-5 Non Commissioned Officer. I
was a Police Officer for 5 years from 1988-1993. To believe that a TLD
itself will protect children and keep them safe is to be naïve and
tunnel-visioned in our perception of what .XXX is designed to do, which
is make a few people a lot of money at the expense of others. I strongly
oppose .XXX as a method for preventing children from seeing adult
materials online. The originator of this proposal is clearly motivated
by money and the adult internet rejects his principals.

The .XXX TLD will not prevent children from seeing pornography on the
Internet. The .XXX TLD will not prevent children from being preyed upon
and abused by Internet predators. I don?t see Dateline with Chris Hansen
talking about pornographic websites as a catalyst to those sick people
that they snare on their ?To Catch A Predator? show. The .XXX TLD will
not stop pornographic unsolicited emails (SPAM). What .XXX will do is
line the pockets of the proposals creator, nothing more. The proposals
creator cares not of children.

.XXX will not make it any harder for children to access adult materials.
Regardless of filtering or whatever other mechanisms we think that we
can apply to a domain extension, nothing will work. What works is
parents being responsible for their children by being aware of what they
are doing. By proposing and enacting .KIDS, software may be installed
that will only allow .KIDS domains to resolve. .COM will always have
some sort of pornographic affiliated with it. There are renegades all
over the world that really don?t care what TLDs we use. The only course
of action is to hold parents accountable and provide them a tool (.KIDS)
so they may allow only those .KIDS domains to resolve in their homes. If
ICM/IFFOR care about children, they would be spending their time trying
to get the .KIDS TLD passed. Please, help us all protect our children,
nieces, nephews, and grandchildren by working towards a .KIDS TLD. Thank
you for your consideration.

I?m not going to get longwinded on you as I am sure you have 1000?s of
these to read. .XXX is a bad idea, designed by mere financial
opportunists that recognized a potential opportunity. Lets not play
their game, but instead do something that really will protect the
countries children, and those around the world should other countries
decide to follow in the path that is created by pushing through a .KIDS
TLD.

Thank you

A concerned veteran
