The only reason I am thinking of is unclear legal situation in U.S after the updated law (2257) was introduced. I am aware that some adult businesses even migrated to Canada 'to be on safe side'. Each content producer should now expect a goverment inspection to their office, sooner or later. However, all this hardly applies to domainers as there no _images_ or _videos_ at parked pages and so there can be no content/documents/IDs issues!
And there are still a lot of adult businesses in the U.S. who are operating in full compliance with all laws. The main source of ads - GOOGLE - is still serving adult ads... And, according to xbiz news -

"Google Says Maybe to Porn".
So what are the reasons for portfolio owners to delete their adult domains - is still not clear. If it is all U.S. legal issues - non-U.S. domainers should be safe though...
Word on the street is their being bought out and adult and gambling domains would be a nono.Originally Posted by tonyk2000
I agree, I've won names and get stuck with the worst registrars around. For the less important names I'd walk away if it's with the wrong registrar. Theres more than enough good names out there to be picky, and some not even registered yet.One thing I would like to see Snapnames do, is to add an Icon next to domains that are active, initials of the registrar would be nice, and also add Buydomains to there partner list, which is currently not there, I think this would eliminate any confusion.
Pornography and gambling is illegal in Canada on the net. Gambling is owned by the government since 1997 or 1998 if im not mistaken. I had gambling machines in bars for some time and had to remove them. The same goes for the net.
