as for not getting past the cost, lol, people are having a hard enough time making moeny with their ages established .com's let alone some new tld that most people haven't a clue about.

i also found this quite funny
"ICM Registry had realized that an extremely high proportion of the top 200 adult keywords in the .COM space were in the hands of professional ?domainers? and were being used for paid parking and/or pay-per-click advertising programs rather than for fully developed websites. ICM Registry felt that this was not ideal for consumer satisfaction and is determined to make .XXX a vibrant and content rich domain
Frank Schilling, owner of possibly the world?s largest portfolio of domain names, had never previously participated in any other new TLD launch. However, Schilling excitedly negotiated a deal with ICM Registry for some premium generic domain names such as live.xxx, hot.xxx and free.xxx in a seven figure deal out of the nearly $4 million that ICM Registry has received during this Founders program period. Schilling is now partnering with other notable adult companies to develop impressive new sites, ultimately contributing to the increased value of the adult eco-system."
Gee, thanks Lawley for putting all the best xxx domains right back into hands of ONE professional domainer who does nothing but park. we'll see if the sites are ever actually developed or not. i wouldn't bet on it, or their definition of developed will just be one of those minisite type things from Shiillings parking company, internettraffic.com.
