Stop the bickering and stay on subject. I still haven't gotten the registry email either.
I'm kind of floored that people would buy two word domains at this point there was several single word adult oriented domains still available at launch even up to today.
I initially thought area codes or city names would be a good play, but thinking further about it the only kind of development & commerce potential is from escort business, which IFFOR will crackdown on at some point and isn't something any sane business person (domainer or adultbiz) would want to get involved with. The major city centers where a dating fling or hookup type of site would be viable were of course, reserved by ICM.
A very "meh" sort of launch if you could call it that. This was the grabbing of names that weren't quite high quality enough to try to get a landrush application in on for and yet might be worth the $100 in and of themselves. Sadly if you renew it for another year, your cost goes up to $200 and you are hopefully sitting on a $200 name - a name no one was interested for the $200 fee during landrush, hence its availability.
Names of any obvious value or keyword potential were as we all know kept by the registry. I still noticed quite a few that were still available after landrush closed and buy.xxx went up suddenly those names became reserved by ICM a day or two before general availability. I sort of feel sorry for the people who were collectively dumb enough to check the names they wanted on buy.xxx obviously ICM would be watching for search volumes and decide to keep anything of value they missed.
Seems like domainers bought the lion's share of these names... especially the not very good ones. That in itself doesn't really bode well for any new TLD.
Should be interesting to watch secondary market sales.
is there such a thing as adult themed hostels? I guess you could create the first.hello
