I can't access .XXX domains anymore - where did they go?
 

a couple of days ago i could go to porn.xxx or sex.xxx - now they disappeared

did the problem go away by itself?

:pimp:pimp:pimp

Could mean only a couple things.
EU has halted .XXX in its talks with the US and both decided to think it threw some more or...

It's a glitch.

Eitherway 2nd post in this should be interesting and I am going to bed.

Good to see you Madalton:)

you stole them??? :1orglaugh

<insert FUD about .xxx here>

They went belly up

They had second thoughts. They decided, in good conscience, that this industry didn't need another good fucking so they closed up shop.

I haven't been able to access .xxx for weeks. I just assumed Thailand government shut them off.

:thumbsup

All we're dead so far.

hope they are gone for good

rumor has it that .xxx domains will be incredibly unstable and subject to regular downtime... :)

Try checking the Official GFY Domain Auction :thumbsup

I can't access them from Thailand either and it's not being blocked by the government.

However, they will be blocked by the government, I am 100% sure of. Just a matter of time. They block many .com porn sites as it is, .XXX doesn't stand a chance.

AAAAWWWWW what a cute fairy tale, now I can drift off to sleep :pimp

the trademark owners must have paid their $300 and took them down! ha ha

Of course they will be blocked in TH.
Do you get many signups from Thai traffic anyway?

No DNS ...

This thread is epic drama.

Down for me too...

Down for me also.

Looks like the ICM can't even keep the .xxx domains up in places where they aren't being blocked.

I guess you are not taking into consideration the insane amount of credit card holding foreigners living in foreign countries.

Unfortunately, I had to block Thai traffic (for Thai sites) as some hater was trying to cause problems for me.

.XXX will get blocked across a lot of Asia.

i sale cheap DNS server

already blocked in your country :1orglaugh

not quite yet, just wait :winkwink:

So wait, you have to pay $300 per year to register the .xxx domain, but you need to pay extra to have it resolve to an IP address? :)

anyone wants to join in next Thursday at the EWT show on Mallorca?

i'll be there... :glugglug

I hear they are shutting the dotxxx domains down because they had viruses on them.

I gues they got the invoice with the current prices and decided it was not worth it.

They hired Chris Mallick to make a promo movie and now the domains are in motion?

working here?

LOL :1orglaugh

Is it true what i read on the internet that .xxx is down because of spyware and malware?

its down down down down, down down down down :D

down here also.,

Down for me in the USA.

hehehehe!

i think we have established by now that they are down...

they question is: why?

maybe they are just teasing us

Maybe they never really existed.

it was all just in our minds

It's all ok, The whole .xxx was only a bad dream:winkwink:

Fuck those extortionist over priced muthafuckers

FUCK .xxx

still gone...

Hello AVN, XBiz, YNOT - anyone want to investigate?

Hahahaha!!! .XXX = FAIL!

they busy making story spin for them. one moment please. :)

still down here.

Down for me as well.

Wasn't it just an un-announced test of infrastructure and they are back again when they launch for real later in the year?
