Here's what he said recently:
?Having had a front row seat as an observer of the human behavior behind domain names and direct navigation for nearly a decade, I believe that .XXX, unlike many other new tlds, offers SLD registrants the opportunity for long term type-in traffic.
Many people navigate in a way that suggests they believe .XXX existed all along. Few strings other than .XXX share this attribute. ICM Registry?s success in tapping this well of traffic should create long-term opportunity for registrants of all stripes and color.
My chance meeting with Stuart Lawley at the 2005 ICANN meeting in Vancouver, and his tenacity and big-hearted altruistic outlook, gave me the confidence that this space would be run in a way that treats its registrants fairly. I believe .XXX will make a great accompaniment to the .COM version of adult sites and that one day .XXX could eclipse the .COM version of name-brands for adult sites.?
His purchase was paid in cash. Without incentives or rebates.
