Hey Linkster,

I know CyberNet Entertainment has been a long time supporter of .xxx but they seem to be stepping back some now.

Here's a quote from their web site...

The .XXX Top Level Domain
CyberNet Entertainment believes in the responsible behaviour of adult website operators and in giving web surfers a fool-proof way to block material intended for consenting adult viewers only. We believe the establishement of the .xxx TLD is basically a good idea. However, news that the organizations pushing for its creation (IFORR and ICM) have purely financial or legislative stakes in the project has tempered our enthusiasm for the concept.

Regards,
SF
