Fucking amazing. And I will do my best to bump this thread every hour or so every day that I work until this is dead.

Here is the hourly bump

i sell short xxx domains

Bump again.

Wow. I am amazed at the fact that this thread is so slow.

Is it a certainty that there will be a public comment period relating to the independent review? I didn't catch any reference to a public comment period in ICM's request for review, but I'm sure they don't really see an additional public comment period as being in their best interest, so that might have been a conscious omission on their part.

Hopefully, the request that the review board "declare that ICANN must immediately execute a registry agreement on terms and conditions substantially similar to ICM's draft registry agreement" proposed in Feb 2007 either proves a bridge too far for the review board, or executing such an agreement would trigger more public comment. On its face, the language of that request sounds like ICM is going for a knockout punch via the review board -- an attempt to bypass the question of public comment and more internal debate by the ICANN board, and simply execute the agreement pursuant to the demand of the review panel.

Of course, if the ICANN board can simply ignore the review panel's decision, ICM's individual requests relating to the independent review board's declarations could be moot, anyway.

Hopefully all of this will be clarified when ICM's request for review is answered/acted upon.

Back to the top :thumbsup

Fight the "Fight the" threads!

another bump to keep it up top

::bump::

and -

fightdotxxx.com for sale. make offers.

50. I beat Julius :)

WORDS ! :thumbsup

.xxx top domain would create a virtual internet ghetto. Too easy for any ISP to block adult content access to surfers...

Pipe dream outcome:

.XXX gets approved

congress passes a law to make .XXX mandatory

obscenity cases for violating community standards is no longer prosecutable because a .XXX labeling law would show federal/national acceptance of the content.


---

This alternate universe should put the fear of god in religious folks to do what they can to ensure .XXX does not get created to lead to this ending

:winkwink:


Fight the unintended consequences!

in the real world, maxhardcorexxx.com gets nailed for obscenity, in Bizarro World, maxhardcore.xxx wouldn't

:1orglaugh

Fight the things that make you go hmmmmmmmm!

Not this again. But ya, $100 million / year projected revenues and if they have 100,000 pre-registrations (for actual money) then they have the bank to push.

I really hope this doesn't happen. The internet is fine the way it is. These guys just want to make a few bucks.

Again!? Am I the only one feeling deja-vu here? :P

Hey men this gif scary me, What it mean?

This really gets under my skin. I don't even want to get started giving my opinion, but I agree it's an absolutely AWFUL idea and it better not go through.

Blah blah.. this is just some spin so that they can soak up more registration fees while the domains go nowhere.. fuck .XXX

I do not support something that is so easliy regulated and censored via isp's such as .xxx

forcing someone into a .xxx extension is censorship..

here's another bump

There's really no way that unintended consequence could occur. The very nature of the Miller test defies the notion of having a national/federal standard -- the whole idea is that each individual community (as problematic as that term is) is subject to its own 'standard,' which is defined by a jury selected from the given community, only AFTER an indictment is entered.

Second, this pipe dream hypothetical also assumes that .XXX's content policies would be open enough to approve all the same types and categories of content that we currently publish on our .coms. This is hardly a given, as ICM has not proposed any set of best practices or content policies yet (correct me if I'm wrong) and IFFOR, the body that would be responsible for setting such policies, has not been defined yet, itself.

This brings me around to my primary reason for being against .XXX: I don't know what it is.

Personally, I have a very hard time supporting things that are pretty much entirely undefined. It's like being asked to back a politician without being told who they are, which party they belong to, or what their platform is. No thanks.

Could somebody point me to the relevant article that stipulates that .XXX would be regulated once it is allowed as a TLD? Sounds to me that .XXX is more of an "opt-in" kind of deal and that being said, nothing more than a money-grab for the associated registrar (like .info, for example). I doubt that ICANN will ever become instrumental in regulating content.

BUMP for the later crew.

(there are alot of names that you know that are not on this list. Many didn't want to take a public stand against .XXX for fear of losing their traffic deals -even though they were against .XXX- with those who did support .XXX )


Fight the Flashback!

I get a creepy sense of "Deja Vu.":disgust:disgust:disgust

Early morning bump :thumbsup

.xxx might well be the final blow to most of us----tube sites, 2257, and extensive "tours" on pay sites are small problems (relatively, at least) compared to what I think .xxx could do to Internet porn.

I'd love for someone to post an authentic list of companies/sites who supported .xxx (by not joining those of us who voiced concern to ICANN last year); PLEASE!!!!!!!!!??????????

That would be a interesting list to see but it wont happen in our lifetimes.

time for a new bump

why dont people just start mentioning names? my mom told me to never mess with the way a man feeds his family.

That's very true but when their actions could cut off thousands from feeding their families. Makes you think for a moment.

Fight the bump!

Hump the Bump!

I had a feeling this would come back... again and again. I don't support it and heres a bump.

Just wished this would go away........

.xxx is a bad idea, its been a bad idea all along...

but money talks, we shall see....

what a surprise, .xxx rears its head again

iAlien Still stands opposed as well.

If there is a run up for Icann to have another meeting regarding .XXX that requests Industry people to sign letters of opposition please let me know Brandon!


Guys don't worry about it to much before Icann can approve they must consider and have a vote. If the industry shows it's teeth like it did last time .XXX will still fall in flames.

So it is important to keep some news letter to webmasters or find info if that event should ever come again.

The guy that is behind .XXX is well funded and much cash he wont go away easily but we can keep slapping the fuck head down to prevent .XXX from ever happening.

The whole thing needs a redraw from head to toe, the current version .XXX is nothing but a money grab that does nothing to serve our industry in the remotest of sense. I will officially say that I would back an adult TLD if it were drawn properly.

oh shit....this .XXX thing is like an EX wife....

This thing has to die PERIOD !
If you're afraid about tube sites and torrents, well this is nothing compare to what .xxx would do to our biz !

It would be so easy to "ghettoized" everything. Like make a huge international online "red light".
It would be so easy after for ISP's to ban access to .xxx extentions. Now as i see it, Obama will be the next president ? Do you REALLY REALLY want .xxx domains ?:Oh crap
