xxxregistry banner ad on GFY
 

Since we are all (most of us) ranting and raving in agreement about how much .xxx sucks, I am a bit shocked to see a banner add on this site for xxxregistry.org telling me I can pre-register my .xxx domain name.

Do the people running this site feel comfortable making money from .xxx in this way?

If I came late to the party and already missed this discussion, sorry - please point me to the link, I'd love to read what was said.

I thought the same thing. But if I could buy them now, I don't believe in the .xxx, but I would get mine now.

Like I said, I don't believe in it.

'the link' should read 'the links' as it's been discussed a few times.

You're not alone in how you feel about it, that's for sure.

That would be correct

Okay i will play devils advocate here.

First there are twenty more threads but...


Tell me why is .xxx so bad and why does it suck. Its only a domain extention. How can it hurt you so bad.

dude, please...

simple answer: segregation into a TLD which can be filtered by ISPs.

I would hope more people would think twice before supporting .xxx in ANY way. We need some sort of Solidarity to get some muscle here. I won't be buying any .xxx extensions or anything else that has to do with the domain.

wrong...this subject has been beaten to dead over the past weeks... :2 cents:

Do you ever have anything intelligent to say or do you just post for the sig money.

Stay out of business threads go post somewhere else. Idiot.


I am curious to see why he sees .xxx as a bad thing, where there will never be a law forcing adult sites on .xxx domains and we DONT HAVE TO BUY THEM.

xxxregistry was a scam no ?

yes and no

idiot = you :2 cents:

anykind of grouping for the adult industry is bad.

centralized targets are never a good thing to have. :warning

I'm not going to spend one penny on this .xxx shit and showing me that banner is a waste of advertising dollars for whoever paid for it. I hope more webmasters feel the same way.

That has got to be the most words you have used in used in a post. Now go post in would you hit it threads so bangbros can pay you the $50 a month and you can pretend you are an adult webmaster.


Leave the business discussion to those actually in the business.

anyone tried to get mail into hotmail, aol, or earthlink? If .xxx goes through it will be just as hard to get your site to load in their browsers

Grouping is bad. But as i am trying to point out xxxregistery is just waisting time and maybe money.

There wont be a rush to buy .xxx domains because we will have no use for them. Just like any other shitty .cc or tld that isnt .com

lol, you = double idiot now


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:winkwink:

You guys have no prob mailing into my inbox... j/k man.

But the thing is .xxx will not go through and only a few people will use .xxx

Spammers. Just like when infos where free. All the emails from
fdkjfasljsfdlkfsdj.info and other wierd shit.

A few more smilies and that might even be considered a real post.


Maybe bangbros will up your sig money to $51.05 for the month.

OMG true idiot :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

FYI - .xxx will cost $70 per domain

yes, surely spammers will use it :1orglaugh

are you serious?

"no rush" what you have to understand half the people who are saying that they will not rush to buy is because they hope to detour others from doing so.

watch when the extension drops their will be a few major people who own the top singleword names.

the internet is limitless and will not stop, do you not think eventually people will associate porn with a .xxx extension? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Of course people are going to be buying the big domains.

xxx.xxx porn.xxx and all the other type-in names.

But everyone said the exact same thing when the dot.in (.in) domains dropped and people rushed out to buy them. And .in still hasnt hit.

And i doubt that people will associate porn with .xxx

Do they use .org when they know that they are seraching for an organization.

Do they use .info when they are seraching for information.

Do they use .us when they search for a Us based company.

No.

Post A link with proof or STFU.

basically that means "pure chaos"

Pre-registrations are kind of legit scams. I thought this forum had enough revenues not to allow these kind of advertisements.

you have gone off topic, we are not talking about other extensions, we are talking about an "adult based" extension and why it is bad advertising for a place that supports it.

if you do not think the new extension should matter i think you need to find a new thread.

they can keep threir 70 bucks, they allready whored all the good domains names anyways - so fuck .XXX

Agreed...

ONLY if we are forced to start using .xxx for anything adult related.

Anyone who volunteers to change all thier sites and everything to .xxx is an idiot.

and if it was anything else i can tell you someone from the company behind this would had responded so far.

Well my topic of discussion was that .xxx is harmless because we wont be forced to ever use it. It is just another extention.

An adult based extention would be bad if we have to match the type of site to the domain.

I.E
All us based sites need a .us domain, all information based sites need .info ....etc

Which will never happen. So .xxx is just another extention. Buy it if you will.

Sista please..

Another idiot response.

You can't be serious.... If you really believe that after the new .xxx goes live a "Great New Bill" to protect children won't be soon to follow you haven't been paying attention to the new agenda.. .xxx is far from the bullshit of .info, .biz etc. and at $70 per domain doesn't it seem funny adult is being overcharged from the very start?

:Oh crap :disgust

nigga please.

bump for Alex :thumbsup

What;s thier to bump.
No more questions to address/answer.

Money talks... You seriously think Lens is gonna miss out on $$$ over standing up for whats right? :)

Yeah -- it's one thing to be forced onto .XXX -- which would make a "ghetto" of Adult, and expose us to being "cut-off" from the Legitimate Internet at any moment.

But, the truth is, it looks like .XXX is going to at least exist -- that doesn't bother me, so long as nobody is telling me I have to go live there.

I think we had to say "BAD, BAD, BAD .XXX" to defeat a compulsory evacuation of Adult to that TLD. But, remove that threat, and what's left but some form of opportunity, which you mau decide is attractive to you or not. BTW, there's another pre-registry available for anyone who doesn't want to patronize that ICM-sanctioned one -- www.dotxxxregistry.com -- fyi

Someone with a head on. :thumbsup

Thanks.

And there are other things to consider. When the .XXX TLD launches, there's going to be global-scale marketing -- PR from the news coverage and whatever ICM may do. That will be free type-in eyeballs for anyone who's got a site there. When was the last time you saw an article about the Adult Biz in the Wall Street Journal -- :winkwink:

Another point is that sites operating in .XXXLand will be (if there's any official support for it from the Federal government) in position to receive whatever concessions are granted to encourage Adult companies to go there. Those would be comparable to the tax breaks or cheaper construction permits that are offered by local government when they want to give an economic boost to certain parts of a city. We've been focused on the worst case scenario of .XXX as a place of exile for Adult, as a ghetto -- but it could become the Web's official Red Light District.

Wrong, you say? How can he be wrong?

He asked a question, you fucking idiot. Didn't give you anything to 'right' or 'wrong' about.

Exactly, people like Rui are sheep.

They quickly jump on the bandwagon of .xxx going to fuck us all over.

You have to lead a sad sorry life to be sacred by a domain extention.

Alex - wrong boy .xxx is going to fuck me as much as 2257 will :thumbsup
Do I think its bad for the Industry as a whole? Hell yeah, if you cant see why well...too bad

I don't see XXX having much of an effect on my business model. My customers WANT porn. Sure, a few religious isps will block .XXX, and some will start offering a "family" filter. But if you think that most isps in countries other than China will block xxx, frankly you are clueless. Half the people that signup for the Internet look for porn first, you think they are going with an Isp that blocks that? Get Real. Yeah, xxx will make it easier for business to block porn, but the big ones do that already. We have firewall subscriptions to porn blocking filters in all my mainstream businesses blocking porn, so do most companies.

Obviously not too many gfyers are able to breed, or you would know that exposing children to porn is a real problem. Don't give me that "net-nanny" shit, IT DOESN"T WORK. I tried that crap on my own kids and a LOT of porn could still be downloaded.

The real loosers in xxx, if it ever becomes mandatory (otherwise its meaningless) are people that own big ticket domain names now. I don't own sex.com, so I guess I am not worried.

By the way, its hard to see how it could EVER become mandatory, and thus will remain meaningless. Since all the big name domain names are going to be snapped up by speculators on opening day, and not acquired by the people who own the .coms, it would provde impossible to later tell you you have to go to .xxx - since your name has long been taken.

As usual a bunch of people worrying about nothing. :2 cents:

But you will be told where to "Live".
Alot of dumb ass industry leaders in the world to decide this coupled with insane politicians. Its a beautiful thing for everyone while on the road with good intentions.

Fuck it though.
.xxx is inevitable. I will capitalise on it even though it is more evil than any of you folks around here have any idea of.

.xxx is not just a nail in the industry coffin.

This nail is going to really hurt.

Whoooooosh No one gets it.

What? I ducked -- :1orglaugh
