Oh brother...


The ICM Registry, the operator for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD) announced it made application for the new gTLD’s in SEX, .PORN and .ADULT.

According to the press release issues this morning if ICM were to get any or all of the new extensions the owner of the matching .XXX domain would be given a grandfather right to acquire the matching name in the new extension.

Looks like .xxx is about to become EVEN MORE worthless.

This'll only make .xxx even more worthless. As well, it'll make many non-adult sites have the need to shell out extra cash yearly, to 'secure' their brand.

They don't care about us. It's money that they want. We're so worthless to them that we're not even an afterthought.

is there really need for that many extensions from the same field?!?!

It doesn't help that it's becoming very difficult to sell porn these days. There's so much free porn online. I've been contemplating of ditching some of my .COM adult domains.

With all this - ICM greed, ICM new TLDs, hard-to-get revenue in adult industry, adult webmasters boycotting .xxx, it is sad to see people investing $XXXX in .xxx domains, especially generic ones, not related to adult industry.
