OK... looking at their process I see a simple solution...

Pretend company X has 34 customer service agents that can be kept idle with a computer at their disposal... Or you just create a script and they can do this in between calls...

They signup to the registry and do so with every Email addy they own... Let's pretend that each owns 3... for 102 total accounts... Each account submits a request for 300 - 500 .com's they won't own... random lists of known domains ranging from milfhunter to analsexkittens... Then they submit 100 .net's like nubiles and thehun... keep going... ohh yeah.. this is fun...

Then they submit a crap load of randomly thrown together crap...

Now scale this up (thank you Quiet for the idea, you will live on!) and now we have 50 adult companies with this many employees throwing up these lists... 5,100 total... now throw in 15 employee companies... another 150 (2250)... and then 5's... at 250 (1250) and singles at 2000.... 10600 x 500 domain submitted total... with only 2000 domains total in the pool of submitted domains...

Now each domain just got an average of 2,650 emails from XXX fags asking them if they indeed own the domain under such and such account as submitted at ICM...

Guess what? Most of that shit goes to spam because the ISP's receiving the flood automatically figure it must be spam.

Now instead of doing .com's in the adult industry you switch that out for Fortune 500 companies... and they get this spam flood and a lot of it does go through and they complain to powerful people who pressure (and often head up) ICANN to put an end to this shit storm...

I'm out... gotta go to 4chan and get some people on board that actually give a shit as most of you won't lift a finger.

BTW, CCBILL won their contest for Redrock Builders with this same "theory"...

I think you have a great valid point here V. How much is it to purchase your own dot?

Whatever happened to Dot Travel?

I'll predict that in 5 years, we'll see a GFY thread title "Whatever happened to .XXX?" with an oddly similar story.

Even if not, I don't invest in fear. Just like any processor that hits me up, I make them prove they are going to make me more money with stats and references. We're in a fortunate position because we have trademarks and we have built on brands rather then generic words and we have a strong legal team. So even if in 5 years the story is different and .XXX proves benefits over a .COM we have the flexibility to register then.

Pretty awesome plan dude, hook it up.

In all likelihood, the 300,000 pre-registration number is as phony as all the carbon copy emails that were sent to ICANN purporting to be in favor of .XXX.

If you want to submit phony .XXX pre-registrations, submit pre-registrations with contact info from a slew of religious organizations. Let the deep pocketed religious right fight .XXX for us.

ok
 

I don't care, as promised, I won't participate in this shit. Hopefully, most of us won't.
