Afternic Leaving Adult

I received this email last evening

- After extensive consideration, we have decided to no longer accept domain names that promote hate, sex, obscenity or self-destructive behavior, such as substance abuse, violence and gambling.

More info here http://www.afternic.com/news.php

My fav part:
"The Internet, much like the early days of television, is still a new frontier. We believe it is up to the industry leaders-and we include Afternic here-to step up and determine what constitutes professional standards and practices. We take this action in the interest of socially responsible corporate behavior and hope that it leads to further healthy industry dialog and discussion on the topic."

Actually I got that email yesterday too. So I guess we cannot sell adult domains on Afternic anymore.

Funny how they lump promoting the one act that's responsible for bringing every single person in the history of human-kind into this world with promoting violence, self-destructive behavior, and gambling.

Without sex where would we get the cute little ones?

LOL!
Was thinking exactly that. Oh well, I guess the bars I do websites for are safe, for now
Actually I know they are because I don't use Afternic. I guess they'll survive with domains like "picsofmyprettyspayedvegetariancatsuzywearingfunnyclothes.com" or such.
