Wow. You should run for office somewhere.
You are guilty. Everyone can see it.

There are always ways to profit from non-profit orgs.

I've always wondered if that was true or not. So many rumors in this industry, it's hard to know what to believe.
I didn't think that was a tough question... if there is such a Board, the answer is "Yes," and if there isn't such a Board, the answer is "No." If there is a Board, I'm just curious who's on it, since Boards generally control organizations such as these.
I know I used to be really active with the .XXX cause, and I follow it with interest, but I've long since given up on the .XXX thing with regards to adult companies. That domain name is toxic, and I personally will never support it. I believe most adult companies understand this, and the industry has made it clear that it doesn't want the .XXX extension. So, if it DOES happen, then Lawley likely managed to successfully play "behind the scenes" politics. Games like these usually come down to leverage.

It seems Helmy dogging real questions is part of his job. Yet he will come in here and flame Mike for pushing and forcing people to take note of the real questions, with a blog that a lot of the real industry reads. Helmy can dish it out but can't take it. This much is evident.
The good news is, that as the DVD industry comes to a halt and the internet side slowing down, Helmy's business isn't so solid anymore. Less people to buy ads means its one day closer to the demise of Xbix, AVN and the others. Without ads, lots of them, they can not survive. Perhaps this is why his "non-profit" group wants paid from .xxx. While he may not directly and personally profit from it, ASACP will and he will get a salary from them long after Xbiz is dead. Use your heads, not hard to comprehend. This is job preservation.
Hemly, you have shown your colors and your refusal to answer even the most simple of questions is disturbing. Now allowing an industry and award winning vet to post on your forum shows you are censoring your board and only allow weak opposition, because you know Mike would rip Stewart a new asshole over there and out you for what you and your group really are, frauds.
Otherwise, why not let him be a part of the discussion?
