University Spends $3,000 on XXX Domain Names to Save Face - GoFuckYourself.com

The University of Kansas has bought .xxx domain names, such as www.KUgirls.xxx and www.KUnurses.xxx, hoping to prevent its name from falling into the hands of pornographers. The school, as well as dozens of others, has reportedly purchased $3,000 worth of ?.xxx? domain names since they went on sale.

What a fucking joke.

BIGTYMER · 12-09-2011, 10:36 PM

Money grab.

SleazyDream · 12-09-2011, 10:43 PM

oh my god - everyone has to buy their .xxx of their name or someone else will and you won't be able to save face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PornMD · 12-09-2011, 11:15 PM

ICM can thank the media for doing what they do best - building fear. Probably about 5-10% if that of these brands protecting their trademark in .xxx actually need to.

KUNurses? The .com isn't even registered and has never been registered. And even with the university getting the .xxx, the .com is still worth nothing.

Jakez · 12-09-2011, 11:28 PM

Many universities have done this. Probably all of them. They purchase their universityname.xxx, theirteam(s).xxx, it goes on and on. These places have no reason to own such a thing but do to avoid parodies and such.

Pretty much anyone who owns anything at all susceptible to public scrutiny is, or is looking to, purchase the .xxx of it.

What a big joke this all is and they're laughing to the bank, meanwhile the non-adult crowd is hating the porn industry even more now.

garce · 12-09-2011, 11:35 PM

Bsically how the whole XXX model was designed. Extort money from as many people as possible, and let the rest fight over SEO scraps for a few months.

Operator · 12-09-2011, 11:57 PM

Domains die

pornmasta · 12-10-2011, 01:55 AM

for $3000 they are only able to afford a single domain :/

alias · 12-10-2011, 02:20 AM

A .sTLD full of empty pages that are blocked by countries and ISPs, sure to be a hit.

Jarmusch · 12-10-2011, 06:01 AM

It's funny how all of a sudden everyone thinks someone is gonna make an XXX parody out of their site/brand/business.

Fletch XXX · 12-10-2011, 06:22 AM

they keep saying this over and over "so they dont get registered"

um lol ....

" ww.KUgirls.xxxand www.KUnurses.xxx"

no one was going to reg that shit domains. every domain ive seen these schools register doiesnt look like anything someone trying make money would buy.

John-ACWM · 12-10-2011, 07:10 AM

Someone at the university is a webmaster

spazlabz · 12-10-2011, 07:21 AM

they are just lucky the domains were not reserved and had to bid on them

they'll be pulled back now that someone wants them.

Supz · 12-10-2011, 09:03 AM

extortion 101. I guess its cheaper then having your lawyers go after it once someone else has it.

seeric · 12-10-2011, 09:04 AM

there was another school who bought a bunch to stop parodies.

no parody company puts a single domain up for a movie anyhow. they all market them on their big brand websites. they wasted their money.

University of Texas.

Though a lot of schools are doing it.

Hentaikid · 12-10-2011, 12:40 PM

Tell them they need to grab kugirlsxxx.com too or some nasty pornographer will!

xxxkugirls.com too. And the net, org, info, us and tv while they're at it

Relentless · 12-10-2011, 03:12 PM

I see KUprolapseparty.xxx is still available. Just sayin' ...

Zoxxa · 12-10-2011, 03:22 PM

It's because of retards like this, that this stupid domain has any merit at all. WHO CARES ABOUT .XXX, the fact it is given a thread every 3 seconds just fuels it's fire.

Paul Markham · 12-10-2011, 03:23 PM

Do you want me to link to the post where I was telling everyone this was their plan?

I could see what the plan was, after listening to Stuart Lawly talk to an interviewer on launch day.

It became obvious when I thought about.

The money it has cost, he continued to push for this even when online adult is clearly in decline and centralising, They spent a small fortune advertising it to the general public. The odds on recouping the investment and going on to make a profit in the future, by selling only to adult are slim. He needs sales to go to non adult people who want to protect their brands or names from the porn industry.

Makes sense now and got to respect the guy for taking this route. OK he's a slime bag.

"People in glass houses............................" I'm sure you understand.

Just post your facts, no need to re-enforce your ego. You are only expressing your insecurities about what other people think about you when you post like this.

DWB · 12-10-2011, 04:17 PM

No problem, I'm getting ExploitedKUgirls.xxx.

Biggie Smalls Web Writing · 12-11-2011, 05:23 AM

.xxx will probably get more money & registrations from people scared of being associated with porn, versus actual porn companies.
