A lovely, potential money making feature to market.
If it works then ISPs will eventually start charging extra for allowing access to adult domains. Imagine every surfer that you see at a TGP has requested or paid extra to surf for porn already.

Then you'd start seeing commercials, "Get NetAdult access for just $9.95. There's no extra charge for searching sex sites".

2257, .xxx and this week's request to gain access to Internet records without notifying anyone. See a pattern?

Secondly - and most importantly - its all voluntary - no one will tell you you have to use a different domain tld - unless you let your congressmen vote a law into effect that would allow that - and then it would only affect US domain owners - of course the Canadian company that will make all of this profit from this approval is sitting back laughing that no representative of the real adult industry came forward and said - no this is not what we want during the public comment period.

Well said. This is not political - YET. (At least, not openly.) Right now this is about profits. But you can bet your booty that once the .xxx TLD is in common use, the arbiters of morality will do everything in their power to ghettoize adult content.

You can bet your ass that when DNS start resolving the .xxx extention, legislation will introduced and passed by an overwhelming majority.

Start making your plans now folks, by this time next year all you domains are going to be outlawed and worthless. The best you can hope for is somewhere, somehow all the domains you have will be grandfathered to the .xxx extention.
The sky is falling the sky is falling!!!
FREE CONFUCY!!!

That's crazy talk. Everybody knows the Internets were made for kids, and all that pesky adult stuff just gets in the way of good, clean fun! |clown|

The problem was that it was not written in the manual that you can not dry out animals in that oven. And I always wanted to know if this story is true or not.

Also, someone fried their poodle in a microwave about 20 years ago. I think they lived in Long Island. Or maybe I was on the Island when I heard it.

That is not good it says that it should be avaliable for the end of the year...

Linkster 2005-06-03 04:33 PM
Why isnt it good - for those that wanted the change its a good thing - just like the new hotel and travel top level domains that got approved at the same time - nothing about this is mandatory - all voluntary if ya want to use them - although if you really have nothing better to do with $60 per domain Ive got some real junkers you can have for that much :)

"New Domains For Sex Sites Could Foster Greater Legitimacy"

This article goes on with a lot of very dubious arguments in support of .xxx

Also has this corker of a paragraph:

Another advantage for industry participants and customers would be better data-collection practices. "Right now, if you go to a porn site, they sell your name to anybody and everybody," she says. "That's how they make their money. It's a huge part of their business model. But building privacy and security into .XXX sites will play a large part in regularizing that industry."

As I said in another thread on this board, this whole idea is utterly ridiculous. Here's a quick newsflash:

The United States Government DOES NOT HAVE the power to police the Internet beyond its own borders!

Until some governmental genius (can you say "oxymoron"?) comes forward and explains how in the blue fuck they intend to master world-wide compliance, I am not interesting in paying $60 a year for anything they suggest.

These idiots can't see outside the box... stifle US webmasters, and you're opening a varitable Pandora's Box of porn that even we WMs deem unacceptable from all the countries we've been trying to lock out!

Okay I'm ranting here... this has been a shit day all the way around and I guess I needed an outlet. Sorry if I offended anyone... not my intention at all. |peace|

I've said it elsewere and I'm saying it again.

They can fly down here and gently tounge my moist anus, if they think I'm going to drop everything and start all over on xxx TLD's.
