How will .xxx work?
They will exchange your .com adult domains for .xxx or overnight we will simply have to drop our adult sites and go and hope to reg a good .xxx?
Have they thought about the above if it happens? |
i already preregistered gfy.xxx, pleasureads.xxx and brazzers.xxx
|
They will make you pay $60 / .xxx domain / year.
Say to goodbye to you SE rankings. Say goodbye to your typein/bookmark traffic. |
What will happen is everyone will squat .xxx domains, but nobody established on a .com will move a muscle. A complete waste of energy spent on .xxx domains.
|
I'm out of the loop on this one - did .xxx get approved ?
|
Where to register .xxx ?
|
Would this apply to sex toy shops as well?

You know, I know, every webmaster knows that enforcing something like that or even trying to enforce something like that is impossible and will only create problems for everyone involved. However, since we are dealing with politicians that have no clue whatsoever about the technology involved (US senators Max Baucus (D., Montana) and Mark Pryor (D., Arkansas) have already proposed creating a .xxx tld and making it mandatory) and the ICM (an organisation that is looking to make a profit at our expense) we have to take into consideration that something that may now seem to be very unlikely may one day become our worst nightmare. |
i got two agents knocking on my door and telling to give them all of my doimans. i sent my two cats at them, agents didnt came back for now ...

Say goodbye to your SE rankings on Google.com , say hello to the ever so complicated future of Adult.Google.com or Google.com/Adult with talks of age verification required to access sites listed in these sections, as well as paid spots similiar to DMOZ when it was still pumping |

Why dont they just make people who want to use a .com for porn have to register the domain for adult puposes and then the SE's tag those .com's as being for porn. They can also release the .xxx and make money out of that aswell.... killed two birds with one stone!
|
BTW - will rap music go on a .xxx too? What about alcohol site and drug sites?

My sites = my property. If Google sends a surfer who's looking for white rabbits to one of my adult sites, who's to blame? Me or Google? If your Garmin or Tomtom gives you the wrong directions, who do you blame? the place you end up in or the Garmin/TomTom? btw: talking about labeling: a lot of people already use rta/safesurf or similar tags on their sites. |

I feel they are as evil and as low as lawley....they are not concerned about how this will affect this industry and the people who have worked hard to get where they are. They are more concerned about the millions of dollars they will pocket at the expense of those in this business. As far as I am concerned, this is nothing short of monetary rape and they know it ;) |
We must do everything we can to make sure this shit NEVER HAPPENS.
Can you imagine all those years building up networks gone into the toilet in a few secs ? |

If Lawley thinks it's important enough to post there, we should all take a minute of our time and post as well. http://domainnamewire.com/2010/09/22...-form-letters/ http://www.thedomains.com/2010/10/29...g-in-december/ let the world know that you are "an adult webmaster and don't want the .xxx tld", that you are "a parent and don't believe the .xxx will protect your children", that you are "a small business owner and that the .xxx tld will hurt your business", that you "believe in free speech and that the .xxx will only bring censorship", that you are "an entrepreneur and believe that the .xxx tld will harm free enterprise",.... |

I think we all need to stay on top of this in order to shoot down .XXX, if we don't we will all pay the price in the end. |

Its just a private company. And why did they do state these intentions and put forth this idea? Simple, as part of the ICANN application process they have to demonstrate a need for it and community support for it. This was their bullshit reason as a "need" for it. They may as well say its because they want to create a safe haven for unicorns. It doesn't mean anything at all. It certainly doesn't mean the worlds governments are going to step in and require a single, private, USA based company to lord over all adult content online worldwide - which is completely absurd and moronic not to mention NO ONE has ever once put forth any reasonable ideas as to how this might be done or managed...not to mention the simple fact that no one has addressed how all variations of a domain on all tlds (i.e. sex.com, sex.net, sex.org, sex.lv, sex.nu, sex.au, sex.100+ more) are all going to suddenly co-exist on a single .xxx domain. |

* At least 2 US senators have already proposed legislation to do exactly that. Do I think they will succeed? No. Do I think they'll keep trying? Yes. Do I think they'll create a lot of problems trying? Yes. Does fighting the .xxx proposal cost me money? No Will the .xxx tld (if created) cost me money? Yes.

ICM Registry, which is backing the domain, said .xxx would make it easier to filter out inappropriate content. ... Stuart Lawley, chairman of ICM, welcomed the decision and said it was "great news for those that wish to consume, or avoid, adult content". The ICM has been making similar statements for a long time now. Several times they've called the .xxx tld "an effective way to filter out adult content". So either the ICM Registry is lying and they don't want to offer an "effective way to filter out adult content" or they want to make the use of a .xxx domain mandatory, because filtering out adult content content based on the tld can only be effective if all adult content is on sites using a .xxx domain. |

Everyone gets that a private company is making these claims. They will own .xxx and they have to come up with justifications for creating it as part of the process. NO ONE has EVER given any reasonable explanation as to how those things might actually happen though. Its just not possible. |

Quick update?
According to the Board resolution from ICANN?s October 28th Board meeting: The Board Chair shall engage the GAC Chair on developing a process for consultation with the GAC on its advice about the ICM application. That means the ICANN Board must go to GAC (Government Advisory Council) and have it clarify its previous advice from their Wellington Communiqué (a document from the ICANN conference in 2006) and their Lisbon Communiqué (a document from the ICANN conference in Lisbon of 2007). Both documents oppose moving forward with .XXX. The good news is that from what I gathered at the June GAC meeting in Brussels, the GAC feels as if nothing has changed and that its original decision stands. Also, according to ICANN?s Bylaws, the Board is required to take GAC advice into consideration. If they do not go with GAC advice they have to explain why. The bad news is that it seems that the ICANN Board Chair, Peter Dengate-Thrush is very much in favor of .XXX. SO we must get to the other Board members. FSC will write a letter to GAC and connect with the people on GAC with whom we have established relationships in order to lobby against .XXX. Additionally, we will work with our counterpart EROS in Australia to do the same. We will also write a letter to the ICANN Board touching on the concerns raised by GAC and point out that the GAC?a committee comprised of 150 governments--and the entire adult community oppose .XXX while the only entity that supports .XXX is ICM?an entity that stands to make hundreds of millions annually off the industry. It?s not over folks. FSC will be in Cartagena fighting for the industry and we will be submitting a number of documents to ICANN and GAC before then. Should ICANN move forward with .XXX there are still three avenues for appeal FSC and the industry can and will consider. Finally we are looking into ways that industry professionals can lobby GAC and the ICANN Board. Stay tuned, we will keep you posted. Remember, the decision from the ICANN Board to seek consultation from GAC is a very good sign. Don?t believe the crap that Stuart Lawley is spouting-don?t drink the Koolaid?it is far from over! |

But I don't want to be standing around looking stupid either if it does come about. The decision whether it gets approved or not is way out of my hands. So I guess it is ok to secretly preregister your domains in the event that it does come about. But in public you have to deny that you done so. How fake! Well at the first of the year if it does happen to get approved we will see just how many people that are against it have .xxx domains immediately. |
Don't feel bad about preregistering a .xxx gTLD domain name.
When the program was announced, the adult industry did not have a clear understanding of the goals and ramifications of the .XXX gTLD program and had not organized itself in opposition. Moreover, several major adult players came out in support of .xxx at that time. Many people registered domains during that time as nothing was seen as being wrong with the registrations. Since that time, many have registered their .com domain names in order to protect their existing businesses. Neither situation should be a cause for embarrassment as the actions occurred either before the ramifications were clear or in order to protect your existing domains which are both reasonable business decisions given the situations. As ICM has said that preregistrations will not be used as a sign of industry support, potentially, no serious harm was done. Now, knowing what we know, just be sure to show your opposition to .XXX when asked by your trade association, the Free Speech Coalition. :thumbsup Just my personal opinion. |
I have voiced my opposition directly to Icann and other places. As directed by people at this forum that have posted links to organized opposition support places.
It is sensible people like you Redrob that keeps me believing in this business.. |
Wild Johnny,
Thank you for the compliment. <blushes> |
.xxx really sucks!
|
I think it's important to discuss and list the exact negative effects of .xxx VS the proposed "benefits". Then if we use logical reasoning in all the feedback it should have much more weight than 1000 plain "I oppose" comments, because many people involved don't automaticly see the big picture.
"ICM Registry, which is backing the domain, said .xxx would make it easier to filter out inappropriate content." That's their main reasoning, but as been said here it's already next to impossible to filter all the sites, and this kind of filtering could be already done on other levels, like some mandatory html tag or file, without need to alter domain names. |
