Fuck Me For Buying .xxx
 

The "told you so" and "you get what you deserve" are incoming, I know :1orglaugh

So I order 4 .xxx domains, and after a week of contacting prbot, icm form support, and godaddy support, I finally receive my application for membership into the sponsored community. In the email, support says:

What email? That's the whole point, I never received on. But whatever, I click the link to the application and on the second step I receive an error notice:

Oh really? How lovely. So, after a week of domains that are absolutely worthless and just sitting in my account frozen, I get blamed for misreading an email that never came and find out that I still can't get my domains to resolve because another member apparently used my email address.

It's also kind of strange that support doesn't use their names. It's only from "support." It appears even ICM employees don't have the courage to admit they are apart of ICM.

Anyway, bring on the hate :)

tldr; No-one cares.

Did you post on reddit?

Your nick says it all :thumbsup

Awesome :thumbsup

Nope, never posted on reddit, although I do visit often.

Thanks :)

Respect to you for your honesty :thumbsup

Thank you sir :)

I'm a gambling man, and have bet more than $400 on riskier wagers than this. Although, I at least got to see some action out of those bets. This one is just sitting stagnated, and quite boring.

Another .xxx success story.

It seems the general consensus by those who have actually bought one is, buy a .xxx = wait for disappointment, resentment, and regret.

use the forgot password feature??

I know there are many in the industry that are against the whole thing, and I understand their reasons. And of course, I expect to get grief for buying a few domains. Even though some of those who have taken such a public stand against .xxx probably own a few themselves.

But, spending a few hundred bucks on something that may take off seemed to be worth it. If not, oh well, some money lost. I also like a lot of how they plan to operate the extension, their marketing of the extension, and the opportunity to buy domains that were being squatted on in the .com extension.

But currently, yes, disappointment, resentment, and regret. I also believe they should have some balls and start attaching names to support emails. It makes ICM and their employees seem as though they are afraid or embarrassed to reveal who they really are and doesn't provide for a good customer support experience.

Many times.

:1orglaugh +2 internets to you sir.

simple solution = chargeback

aren't you one of the "boycott xxx" types?

that's why i thought it was a joke. everyone is going to do it anyways.

I started out some time ago saying I would never buy a .xxx domain. But, over time I moved to being on the fence about it, neither for or against. I understand the argument against ICM, but I also see some positives. I'm still on the fence, but what's a couple hundred bucks?

I think godaddy has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Honestly considering it at this point. ICM support sucks, Godaddy can't do anything, not too many options from here.

Lay with dogs ...

Most of the 'investors' running around buying .xxx's I know of are actually not in the adult industry whatsoever.

I definitely know of private equity firms that will end up snagging a portfolio or two of .xxx's but ultimately, this looks like a not so great deal. The "getting in quick" part is nonexistent, and when you have your own industry saying "ehhh its not a good idea guys.." that's when you really should consider listening. Reminds me of the .mobi's and that oh so amazing idea.. those were way more appealing even when everyone knew they were destined for major fails.

That is how I looked at my xxx domains too

The thread title says it all :pimp

Serves you right.

Another day, more promises, no results...

my domains are in motion

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Finally! So, after a long wait I finally received my token and my domains now resolve. Thank you prbot for forwarding my issue to the right people in order to get this taken care of.

(waits for incoming hate for owning resolving .xxx domains :1orglaugh)

good luck

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help. I'm glad it all worked out.

Told you so! Glad you know you Got Mallicked!

Haha, luckily, unlike epass, my domains really were in motion and the problem was solved. It was a technical error that was frustrating, but resolved.
