Why is the ICM Registry introducing more key adult gTLDs? Simple. Full control of this lucrative market.

This is a joke right? you cant really be serious when you give this as the reason for introducing more TLD's.. Your failure to see this as a money grab is beyond belief, Either your heavily invested in .xxx and blinded by potential (which doesn't exist) OR your just not as smart as I thought you were.

i think he was being sarcastic, in that "they" ICM is making money off domainers....not so much that the extensions will thrive.


at least that's how i read it

No 100% image, that's how I read it.

Sounds like you're still focusing on me instead of the subject of .XXX, the ICM Registry and who they represent or what their goals are. Not being interested in a TLD doesn't mean it's a failure - unless you became Frank Schilling overnight. For that, you'd need balls.

Then again...

Hammer.

Nail.

Hit!

So damn spot on...member concerned NOT about the subject but cares more about the contributors to that thread. There is this creepy, out-of-the-closet psychotic mentality and fascination (perhaps addiction) to finding certain members and attacking the person rather than the content. This is clearly an unhealthy, unnatural state-of-mind and an obsession that borders on psychosis and psychotic behavior.

I firmly believe (and it is so apparent and obvious) that this particular member's obsessive behavior drives itself to finding the recent postings of certain members and entering into that thread to attack, attack, attack.

The odd part and the reality...had you not even posted a quote by that person, most forum members reading this thread would have immediately known to whom you were referring to. That is really a sad state to be in. It is almost as if there is a lose unaccounted for with the closing of political or controversial threads that this particular member, in desperation, has to attack the member(s) non-stop to get attention and get noticed. Worst of all, it must have attention to survive and to not have attention it will wither and die.

With that said (wither and die), there is hope...

Sounds like somebody is running from the subject... I'm not focusing on you at all, I'm responding to your reasoning why you think .xxx has potential... The fact that ICM could potentially be rolling out more Adult TLD's diminishes .xxx even more, You also provide links to xxx sites that are a testament the Adult industry is using .xxx, but these are sites that RE-DIRECT to established dot com's...

So where's the beef Acro? Why should anyone think .xxx will succeed? Is the next reason going to be a list of players who invested in .xxx as the reason .xxx has a place?

The last time we did that Rick Schwartz lost 200K, Paid for with .COM sales and Recovered with .COM sales.

Looks like somebody didn't get his "reach around" for today. Are these the "Balls" Acro is referring to? Only Gerry knows.

Some logic. Think for a second: virtual monopoly to the words that define "adult" content. Sure, .XXX is perhaps a tag of the 80's but with .sex, .adult and even .porn I can't think of a reason why you'd still be debating this.

I understand it's not your forte to foresee things accurately, but at least don't ruin it for everyone else that has an opinion.

I am watching Australian Rules Football. I really do not understand the rules but it is entertaining. And I am certainly not going to bash it simply because I don't understand it.

I am still puzzled by a comment referring to Domaingang being the National Inquirer (or something like that) of domaining...isn't that the intent of Domaingang? Satire? Headlines to read as we are standing in the Grocery Store checkout lines?

Imagine that...accusing a satirical site of being satirical.

Well, Gerry I forgot I put a filter for 'XXX' to my emails a while ago so I am not getting notifications on this thread monopolized by Raider :D I've already said what needed to be said. I'd be more concerned if Raider were a prude and that's why .XXX does not appeal to her, but I'm led to believe otherwise. In other words, have fun Raider. PS I own 3 .XXX domains so I doubt that my investment will break the bank.

Yeah, those honors go to the marketing genius that predicted we would all "EAT our Words" by this time on the success of .Mobi.. I didn't foresee that one at all, not even .name or ALL the other worthless TLD's that have devalued to such a degree you can't give them away.

NOPE, you and Gerry are the great predictors, you know best, We should all stop what were doing and adopt your way of thinking by hand registering new TLD''s. and when a great leader and mentor like Rick Schwarz or Frank Schilling invest in a new TLD, we should follow in their footsteps, "Monkey see Monkey do" WHY? Because their successful and were not.. LOL

So of as of yet, I not heard one reason why .xxx is any different than all the other new TLD's that have been flooded the market, NOT one, Can't say I'm surprised.

Not to worry, I'm sure if they don't work out Frank will be very happy to give you a refund.

Yawn. Come up with something original. Spewing hatred towards those that diversify doesn't make you gain anything. And what's that personal vendetta you have with Gerry, I don't get it. You're supposedly a busy mom.

Where in my posts did I spew hatred toward you or Frank? Another un-founded accusation to detract from what's being discussed, Let me borrow a line from you, "Is that all you got? How about some solid answers to my questions rather than running away? I happen to respect Frank and I'm happy he's earning revenue off his xxx domains, not sure if it will cover the $1.65M he paid out, but if he can recoup it before the bottom falls out then more power to him.. As for diversifying, I concur that you should never put all your eggs in one basket, sure .xxx investors are diversifying but the eggs are going into a basket with a gaping hole in it, really no different than the fools who invested in Mobi and lost their ass as a result, like the blithering idiot who invested in 500+ mobis all on a whim.

The pitch for .xxx is almost identical to that of .mobi;

A) When users type in mobi they know their going to a mobi compliant site.
B) When users type in .xxx they know their going to a adult web site.

A) Would Rick Schwartz invest in $200K if he didn't think their would be a market for it?
B) Would Frank Schilling invest in $1.65M if he didn't think their would be a market for it?

A) Look at all these companies who now use mobi, this is a sure sign the TLD will take off.
B) Look at all these companies who now use .xxx, (as a redirect to .com) this is a sure sign the TLD will take off.

Unfortunately it WONT take off, it will be a utter failure like all the other recent TLD's.. It will die a FASTER death than when .Mobi died because all the evidence is pointing in that direction, some of which you provided :) The question I have for you is; When it dies, are you going to be a man and admit the mistake? or are you going to be at the grave site waiting for it to resurrect?

As for the "personal vendetta" I suggest you get your eyes checked, take a another look at Gerry's signature, Seriously now, what kind of douchebag uses his signature privilege to attack another member? And for over a year? I cant say that I've ever done that, and I never went out of my way to photoshop a image of ANY members avatar and disparage them like Gerry has, I also don't go around wishing members Dead on a domain forum or anywhere else for that matter like Gerry has, That takes a lot of venom, a lot of hate and vindictiveness, And you claim that I'm the one with the personal vendetta? NO... Your opinion of him is and always has been partisan, it's been that way since 2007 when you and him viciously attacked Donny and Kelly Pitts, I have to say that you've matured since then but he certainly has NOT, And quite frankly I'm sick and tired of members like you and Tia giving him a free pass when he strong arms members like myself, Area51, David Green and Don and many, many others, These members either left the forum or post a lot less today because of that douche.. And when I hear he was banned from NP, it's not hard to figure out WHY.

Honestly, the siggy thing...when that statement was said and I read it over and over to make sure I was seeing correctly, that had to be the most self-beatifying, holiest sanctimonious bunch of BS I had ever seen in my entire life. I loved it then and I love it now. Mother Eva sent from the heavens whose mission it is to save fellow man from that that invest in and make a profit from domains. It is not just the mobee side of things. It is everything...imagine buying a domain name at reg fee and selling it from a handsome profit. The HORRORS! We need another OCCUPY movement to save mankind from the 0.000000001 percent of the global population who take advantage of such helpless, hopeless fellow man.

Yes...join me now! Occupy the Registrars! Occupy the Drops! Price all your domains at reg fee, ye heathens.

Where else but on DNF can we find our very own domain saint and protector of fellow man.


Look, the siggy thing was TOO GOOD to make up on my own and deserves its place in infamy.


As for Donny, well...hell, what can I say. When you post lies on the forum and I have stats and dates to prove otherwise and Post them for all to see...well, if that is your opinion of a vicious attack. Simply because he was spokesperson for a parking company that you participate in did not give him a free pass to post blatant lies and did not retract them when I posted images of exact stats and dates.

What can I say...the siggy stays up until you say something else more trite...er, I mean holy...that all should heed.

Just noticed the thread is ".XXX domain showcase. Showcase your .XXX domain names"

All other discussions are pointless.
