No more porn on a .com, only on .xxx?
 

Hi All,

I know, I'm lazy... I probably should do my own homework. But I was reading up a bit on the .xxx domains stuff. What I still do not get is if "porn" will be banned from .com, .net or .org. In other words, will adult content be forbidden to be put online on a non .xxx domain? And if so, who is going to enforce that? And what about the "level" of porn. Softcore allowed or not? Nude, no-nude?

I'm a "small" adult webmaster and still in the process of buying domains and putting content on them. So should I continue to buy domains and use them as such? Or should I already start to invest in .xxx domains?

Cheers,

go fuck your self... :)

take a knife and stab yourself a few times in the face, let us know how it goes

nothing can be banned from .com.
but all big sites will buy a .xxx domain nad keep the .com

You need to buy the .xxx now.

"nothing" ? are you sure of that :error

adapt or die

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

India is talking about banning .xxx :)

I banned India first I won!

Not converting for you eh? :)

Why is that? didn't they already pass a law on 2004 that there will be no more censorship unless the site hurts their national security?

i might be miss understanding though what You said...

I should have linked it. Someone posted another thread about it.

Yea just realized that and re clicked to say i barely saw it.

Porn on com-domains will make ICANN shut them down.
You need to get xxx-domains for your porn-sites.

stop it with these moronic posts about .xxx for fuck sakes!

fuck .xxx who can ban us for using com?!?!?

Fucking idiot.

And what about erotica, nudity, erotic shops, etc? Basically the question is, what does ICANN see as porn and what not?

face. stab. repeat.

I didn't learn anything from this thread

My hero...

Yeah, I was thinking of that. Hence my questions.

Your comeback game is weak.

Exactly.

In fact the only thing I can see .xxx doing is giving even more value to .com and .net tlds. Sure, you can have sex.xxx but in the end that only makes sex.com even more valuable.

Not quiet yet, but......

:2 cents::thumbsup

but no one is hostil to Tvs and Radio stations like they do to porn at some countries right?

people are worried, because banning the whole domain is easier then banning sites from differant extentions, E.g: i have some Arabic sites, even though some Arab countries bannned porn, they have to realize my site before it gets banned and until that time i can benefit from that traffic.

So it's not just an extention like ".fm and .tv" as you mentioned.

Links pulled.

Yeah, I know. At least I'm not damaged in the head.

This would make think about a world revolution


ROTFL

anyway you guys who have ton of experience, would you suggest to move our.com websites to corresponding .xxx (by putting redirect on .com) or viceversa? domain.xxx could easily be filtered....even from countries where censorship dominate, like in China.

hmm... nothing legal! :winkwink:

nono, .fm is national domain for Micronesia, and .tv is Tuvalu.
:2 cents:

Yes, let's already start investing in .XXX domanis! Let's feed the beast!

...and porn sites will NOT be banned from .com

So let's get this right - they'll attempt to get porn companies to sign up for xxx - then ban xxx - so the companies go back to their dot com. They've already attempted to get rid of adult sites and failed including I am pretty damned sure they looked at banning adult from dot com

yes, but it has effect on search engine rankings.

my point is that .xxx is not a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) like .fm, but a top-level domain (TLD) like .com .net .info ...

This news just in.... if you have anything hosted on a .org that is not a non-profit organization you will also get shutdown.

I do not understand the need to lie.

Well, I rather not... hence my questions, should I? I have a small budget and I rather invest in a domain (tld) which remains it's value. Let's say I buy a .com domain and start putting in the effort and cash. Building backlinks, buying unique content, etc. What happens if all the sudden Im "forbidden" to have adult content on that domain? Sure, the content is still mine and I can probably move that over to any other (.xxx?) domain. But what about my efforts in building the backlinks?

To be honest, I dont like the .xxx that much in terms of creating websites, as a domainer it might be interesting (pure from a buy->sell pov).

So no... I rather not feed the beast... but I bet some will and what then?

Honest question, you think that it will remain like that? Because then I really do not see the point of .xxx (besides just generating revenue).

The more you talk about it, the more you will make it happen. Idiot.

Stick with the .com's or .net's and you'll be fine.

I think .xxx is something that will just fade away with time, much like .eu did.

"ICM is expected to make over $200 million a year" :pimp

this thread delivers.
