.xxx question for icm
 

How many domains have you reserved for yourself ? just out of curiosity ?

you mentioned in another thread you took less than other tld's have, can we get an estimate ?

are all the domains reserved being auctioned ? how do we find out if a domain is reserved for auction vs reserved forever

I was checking the whois vs common lists. I checked a list of common animals.

We reserved about 1,000 premium generic terms that will be allocated by various methods including direct sale and some via public auction.

Most registries have reserved about 5,000 names for this purpose.



You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] to discuss any names you are interested in.

We are most interested in parties that have exciting development ideas and plans.

i had a couple ideas for you , if you want to get some support/use from the community you should tie in a short url service like in mainstream. If sites use "ENTER EXIT" on homepage and they run the links through a short url service with a .xxx link it will help site owner ensure he/she is doing what he/she can to filter minors

heres some more reserved ones.

Dotxxx,

Can you post the list here?

Basically nothing good will be left.

Stuart Lawley posted this:
So you reserved about 1,000 premium generic terms that will be allocated by various methods including direct sale and some via public auction and you already sold circa 1,500 premium names.

so that makes circa 2500 premium names that aren't available for registration. Can we please get a list of those domains?

Does this mean that ICMRegistry already sold 1500 premium names before the dotxxx stld was approved by ICANN?

New avatar for you SmokeyTheBear:

ADG

ICM Registry is avoiding the tough questions again?

No. Around 1500 names were allocated before Founders closed in July.

seems like i am finding more than 1500 , but i don't know how the system works..

how many total domain names are reserved currently ?
how many domains have been "deleted/reserved" for trademark issues ( ie disney.xxx ) ?

Pretty pathetic when you have to manufacture demand like that

Those are free?
That's very tempting to buy some of them like pig.xxx or dog.xxx ... but $100 for each and then every year who knows how much... nah... also the future of .xxx tld is uncertain. :helpme
All in all, after years I know that every name can be positioned to the no.1 in search engines for any keyword it only takes time & work.

i suppose the idea behind a short/memorable domain is the return visitors remembering the domain, more than the se benefits of having keyword.tld

there are loads of domains still left

why you are tlaking so mch about this bullshit? I though we made a deal here to ignore them.

hell yeah!!

Of course that's true.

i didn't catch that deal..

I think it would be silly to ignore .xxx .

We ended up with .xxx because we all ignored it and assumed it would go away.

We ended with xxx not because of us but because of greed. So your idea that it is stupid to ignore it is, exactly that. Stupid. Since supporters are motivated by money ( and give a fuck that it will ruin your business) they will let it once they see that there is no money as they planned. Until now, they were motivated to push with hope that they will earn and not because we ignored it. Your answer reminds me of kids in school when whole class run away , but there is always one kid sitting politely and licking teachers arse.

Everything through Landrush should now show as unavailable, which would be more than 1500.

You forget we were able to delay it for several years.

Can you please tell us which 1500 domains were marked as premium and reserved by ICM?

90% from GFY members can't afford 84.99 $/domain/year


.XXX failed

when i query your whois i get 3 diff results..

not found
reserved
taken

how many reserved domains are there ?

so the fact they made it appear the industry supported .xxx ( a criteria for getting it ) and the adult industry didn't do more to make it known we didn't has nothing to do with us ignoring it ? it has everything to do with it.. It never would have been approved and was denied in the past based on this, but when they got it approved the adult industry was not there in opposition because we were busy ignoring it..



actually i called it "silly" because i try to show the same respect to others as i would want for myself. Granted other don't always feel the same respect :)

yes i see how it is exactly like that :winkwink::error:helpme

i have a better analogy , there is a tiger in the area , we are ostrich. We both stuck our heads in the sand, the tiger didn't go away. The tiger will eat you if you keep your head in the sand. I have taken my head out of the sand , you are shouting "stick your head back in the sand , he will go away" , i am watching the tiger salivate at the silly ostrich with his head still in the sand.

First,Sorry if I've insulted you.

Second: I simply don't share same opinion as you. maybe I wasn't reading your posts precisely, but as far as I know in this moment,you are not offering any alternative to ignoring them?

Third: Reall can't spend time debating and making comparasions. I just had feeling that you will be one of those that will go for xxx domains. As far as I am concerned, I won't buy them, which means ignoring, and if all adult webmaster do the same, they are doomed.

I think you are spot on...:thumbsup

I'm not posting numbers (or lists) beyond the numbers available in press releases and what I've already mentioned.

There should be 5 responses to the whois queries. - not found, reserved, premium reserved, performer reserved, and the usual registrant info.

ICM knew that .XXX would not work when the majority of the adult community denounced it - They also knew that .XXX could not be enforced as a way of keeping porn off the other TLDs.

ICM then resorted to blackmail. You know it, I know it and anyone following this sorry saga knows it.

Why should any of us believe a single word that you are saying?

How many premium .XXX do you own DotXXX?

it seems that 'reserved by registry' is also the term that .xxx uses when external parties have reserved the domain during the first few reservation phases.
the ones that say 'premium reserved' are the ones that the .xxx is keeping for themselves to auction off later.

There's always 12 months later, when the renewals come due @ $100 a shot.

.xxx is for porn only, a place where porn will find new land and new profit, so why would ICM not reserve such great PORN domains like badger.xxx, cat.xxx, cheetah.xxx and elephant.xxx (Have you seen their TV spots? ICM LOVES ANIMALS!)

And OF COURSE nationally known brand names like: celtics.xxx, coke.xxx, dial.xxx, fender.xxx, ferrari.xxx, gucci.xxx, ibm.xxx, macintosh.xxx, playboy.xxx, porsche.xxx, subway.xxx, toyota.xxx, SHOULD be "Reserved" when the bulk of those (sans Playboy) would NEVER be thought of as "porn" nor would they prob want to be tied to porn.

And since it's ALLLLLL about PORN, names like: batman.xxx, snoopy.xxx, garfield.xxx and DISNEY.XXX should also be reserved and NOT locked down because of their links to children, a PORN TLD MUST have children friendly names!

Especially Disney.xxx since they just LOVE IT when people make porn using their trademarked children's characters, in fact they love it so much I've heard they go out of their way to contact those people just to say thank you!

ICM, you are all top notch bros and (what's the word for a female bro??) and you are indeed the pillars of our industry!

/End sarcasm

-Loki-

Back in September it was reported that ICM blocked the names of about 4000 celebrities and politicians for free. I'm curious why they didn't block other TMs etc :)

Broette?

You really should just stop posting here now.

Because the more you spout off things we don't want to hear, the more people won't be buying. You convinced me already!
