Foxnews is already fear mongering that .xxx will open the floodgates for porn.

So on the one hand they are factually wrong and on the other hand they are fear mongering.
Yay... :disgust

was she for or against ?

i rarely wish harm on anyone, but I am thinking bad thoughts about Stuart right now.

amazing how ICANN is suppose to have only introduce this shit if the community it involved wanted it, and no one wanted it. I wonder how much those who voted for it were paid off.

She was for

More than half that voted apparently. :2 cents:

This doesn't change a thing..... Does it?
Other than big sites might want to but the xxx-version of their domainname.

So where do we go to secure our .coms with .xxx 's?

the lawyers are on speed dial. lets see how long it takes for an injunction.

Who is the fucking moron who wrote that??? Talk about NO clue about what you are writing about:
"A Warning to Parents, .XXX and a Pornography Boom May Be Headed for Your Home"

" As if that were not enough, pornographers are poised to expand their reach immensely."

"For years, concerned parents have been fighting this development, as it will only make this material even more accessible to children. So now they can lure your children with “playwithcarly.com” and “playwithcarly.xxx.”


And it wouldn't be "news" with out a politic dig at the "other" party.

" But this week, President Obama is concerned about another type of madness: March Madness. "

The guy took probably 5 minutes to make the picks, but everyone who hates him has played this one into the ground like he locked himself in the oval office for weeks studying his picks and ignoring everything else.

the world is full of idiots.

Someone register PlayWithCarly.com and put up meatspin.

She started off speaking sanely, then went to the dark side and voted for. I would copy over her statement, but right now, the transcriber is still running.

is the end

HA lol PlayWithCarly.com is available... would be funny if someone registered it and then put up a page mentioning how the person who wrote that article is a miss informed dumbass.

Did anyone really expect it not to pass? Still lame though.

i don't see it ever or at the very least any time soon becoming mandatory though. for one thing it is a Sponsored TLD, for another it would require some global level enforcement.

What will I do?

I will wonder why you were posting that it had passed 18 minutes before the show of hands.

Put our in house counsel to work... :disgust

I was hoping :helpme

I'm sure ten.xxx is available at a nice premium.

oh? visa and mastercard come down tomorrow and say they will not process for adult unless they are on .xxx do you not think that is effectively manditory?

this is like a punch in the gut.... Can't the US Government mandate the use of .xxx for adult related sites by passing a law?

Domain Name: PLAYWITHCARLY.COM

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

I love this business. :thumbsup:thumbsup

I knew it was coming..rofl

and so what? we cannot use .com or .net and others anymore, just .xxx? or why is that big drama about it?

I just read the XBiz article, it's not over yet
http://www.xbiz.com/news/131872

I hope the greedy fat bastard stuart lawley chokes on his dinner this evening

Cuz I like it and it's huge cuz GFY doesn't support resizing flash object.
Please blame on obsolete and outdated forum layout, not me and stop trolling.

Not a big surprise. Sad.

Actually it is geniusly written, depending on the group that they want to have read it :2 cents:

FoxNews has their facts straight as usual.

Cry in your beer.
:2 cents:

Right. And the cost to purchase the equivalent .xxx for your domain will be just slightly less than it would cost to litigate to get it.

This is an unabashed and Mafia style shake down of the whole industry.

This is the first time Icann has gone against the "Government Advisory Committee" in a decision.. Interesting

still kind of feels like it wont make a bit of difference ya know? It has passed and I would think once the cats out of the bag its impossible to put it back in

i don't see how it can work without introduction of new laws and regulations first. and i don't see how could a law require use of a SPONSORED top level domain name

I foresee thousands of new .xxx tube sites lol

And simply filters on your providers and networks for .xxx domains :Oh crap

I'm going to submit a proposal for ".porn" because ".xxx" is not specific enough
for pornography. :winkwink:

I don't sell illegal booze and don't want my 100% legal website associated with it!

Why do those stupid think that we porn site owners want to get all the kids in our sites? Just looking at the business standpoint is pretty clear that we want the parents and their credit cards, not the kids.

Can't wait until Google decides that .xxx domains are more relevant in porn searches or such crap. You know what's coming next. Same as always.

Wow, I somehow wasn't thinking about it but from logical point of view this is very likely to happen.

You'll have to re-brand.

maybe for the enquirer or some other bullshit tabloid but you think most real "news" articles would at least try to give the appearance of being accurate.

i bet that .xxx's are going to be VERY expensive.

That sounds like a politician's concession speech.
