.XXX Impact on Other TLDs w/ xxx ???

06-08-2005, 02:45 PM

If this has already been kicked around, my apologies. Additionally, I think that "xxx" is generic enough to be discussed here instead of in the Adult discussion area, in lieu of the impending .xxx gtld and it's impact on the market, as a whole, but I'm open to other POV's in that regard.

That out of the way, how will the .XXX gtld impact other tld's w/ "xxx" in the body of the name? I have a few 3/4 char (3xx, 3xxx) and xxx in the body of a couple names that I was planning on selling, (not developing) so am curious whether this is bad thing for those names, or a positive?

I think it would be similar to .com in that .xxx would become the second preference for adult sites. I do still think others sites have some value to redirect to them however. I have a few myself such as Rated-XXX.info and XXX-RatedVideo.com. I worry a little more about the .com's though than the .com.

Personally, I think it would be smarter to put xxx as the second level domain under country code domains since every country has a different opinion of what "adult" would be. Imaging the difference in cultures between France, the US, and Afghanistan. If there were a name.xxx.us, name.xxx.fr, or name.xxx.cn each country could use their own definition of "adult material" and block those that may differ.

Right now and for a whle after they are released I say there will be no problem. it will take a while for the .XXX adult domain names to be more popular than the .COMs, if ever.

Definitely it can’t ever be positive. In the short run I don’t think it would hurt too much the xxx .com’s but in the long run it would probably beat them. I believe .xxx will soon become one of the most famous (infamous) gTLD’s around. It would be a wise thing to start selling them now IMHO.

Well I know France has a lot "racier" TV commercials, and after all, Afgans just recently removed their burkas to show faces in public. They're just the first that came to mind (no recent politics intended). The point is that obscenity of content is partially in the eye of the local culture.

My bet is it becomes the 4th most widely known extension in the US at least.

(.net , .org , .com , then .xxx ... c'mon .us, we're pulling for you

)

It's going to be hard when it's been headline news and the single most emailed story on yahoo for the past week...

It doesn't take brain surgery to deduce that the hardest .COM names to be hit in term of value devaluation would be porn names. Especially when political legislation starts kicking in.

As a result of recent brain surgery, I was thinking on levels beyond he obvious.

ie Will the power of .com, in general, and as search ext of choice and by default, maintain a level of strength for xxx.com names? (redirects, for instance.)
Will redirects be legislated?
What will be legislated?
Is mole X-rated?
Should mole be legislated?

castrated actually

At least some form of "ated"

My apologies for not being completely up to date on the XXX tld besides knowing that it has "passed" and will be available later this year, but do you believe the US will try and get a bill or somesort to make all XXX .com's move to the .XXX tld for an easier way to protect children?

absolutely! For example, this .COM URL is a porn site http://www.stephanie.com which many young girls are potentially innocently stumbling into.

AdoptableDomains · 06-11-2005, 08:38 AM

There is already a law in the US that make porn traps such as putting porn on a former school domain or site that would attract children illegal. They have yet to have any major cases of prosecution, but I believe the change of whitehouse.com from porn to non-porn was partly for that reason.

As the Internet gets more mainstream, it will get more regulated. The UN is already trying to build the case for international governance and law over that fumbling organization they call ICANN.
