Let me start off by saying i work in the adult industry , i own several adult ".com's" . I am a small site owner with zero agenda. I frequent a webmasters forum that is the largest voice for the internet adult community on the internet. www.gfy.com I will be very clear here so people arent confused. NOBODY in the adult industry supported .xxx except those directly involved in profiting from it. You speak of "support" from the community , and this simply is NOT true.. the only support was from those directly involved in profit from the proposal. The "pre-registrations" you speak of is not an indication of support in any way. The "feelings" of the adult community were that IF the .xxx proposal passed , the u.s. would legislate laws to force adult website owners onto a .xxx extension. thus it would be essential to own your sites applicable .xxx extension. So the scare factor made large adult website owners rush to pre-register their .xxx extension so it could not be STOLEN from themin the event the .xxx passes. This wasnt support , it was a scare tactic to garnish "fake support" I challenge ANYONE who is actually in the adult industry and wasnt part of the .xxx proposal to step forward and agree with .xxx . I think you will find NO takers as nobody supported it or supports it.. There is a MUCH larger demand for a .KIDS domain extension. the adult community feels this is a much smarter way to keep kids and porn seperate.
