whats a .xxx?

And that right there pretty much sums up the vast majority of people involved with .xxx.

I think Chris might be packing.

Ive just been told ICM Registry is on the road trying garner positive interest in .XXX .
I guess they figure if they visit some of the larger companies in the business and dangle an NDA in front of them so they can have a "frank" conversation will cut them a few more backroom deals.

So maybe Chris is going to join the road show and had to sign that NDA first so he DOESNT have a "frank" conversation about his new HUGE CLIENT hes been boasting about.

Im sure Ill have more details to post but it wont be on GFY.

The only big companies left.

Reality Kings/Bang Crew
Nasty
Manwin
Playboy
Hustler
Vivid
AFF

Etc.


Who got a visit?

You list lacks insight.
No one on that list...Im guessing most of yours have already cut their deal.

That list above is meaningless. Everyone knows Shap is the only guy in the business that has any influence. When Shap talks, people listen.

.xxx is just another tld. It will never be mandatory, Google will not list it above .com's, no country is going to ban all adult .com's and make us use .xxx.
Above all else the best thing you can do to protect your business is get a trademark for your site, that way if anybody else has .net , .tv , .co .whatever you can take it from them.
As for Chris taking a job selling .xxx, take the money honey! Ain't nobody around here gonna pay your bills! Just don't bother trying to pitch your shitty .xxx domains to me we are 110% against it.

How many countries have banned .xxx so far? India? Kenya? Others?

Says a lot about a mans integrity and set of ethics.

If he took a job like that its obvious that hes loyal only to the dollar and not any great love of this industry as he claimed. He doesnt give a shit about what you or any of his peers think as long as he gets paid.

I certainly would reconsider ever working with him in the future if he has a job there and showed that he is a true pussy by screaming post proof or be banned.

Thats the new battle cry of a true cockholster it seems.

Russia is looking too as well.

Ever notice how all the .xxx news is broken by Xbiz first?

bahahahahahaha

Agree 100%, his so called "passion" and love for the industry fell by the wayside as soon as the almighty dollar was put in front of him and he chose to work in the "grey" area as he calls it.

Spot on :thumbsup

I'm trying to figure out what the initial denial was about, LOL.

I'm guessing he was unaware that ICM was issuing a press release. :1orglaugh

I think that was mishandled, but perhaps he signed an NDA and could'nt comment ?:2 cents:

In my opinion all Chris is doing is taking a sales job to sell a shitty product to our business. Maybe I'm naive but I don't see the difference between selling .xxx or a horrible billing solution. In the future if Chris works for a company that I think I can do business with I will be more then happy to work with him

Me too, his actions sure indicate he was embarrassed and ashamed gfy found out about his involvement and wanted the thread closed quickly. Then when it was obvious the thread was going on, he reluctantly semi admitted he had something to do with .xxx . I just wonder what sort of plan he initially had to market .xxx to the adult industry without anyone knowing it was him, since he's obviously very uncomfortable with his peers knowing he's involved with .xxx . Oh well, the cats out of the bag now.

Proof provided - maybe you should be banned now! :thumbsup

I wouldn't be able to sleep either if I were in your shoes... :disgust

If you sold out so quickly and easily, it probably had more to do with your passion for the dollar than your passion for the industry. :2 cents:

sellout.xxx

Shazam!

Kapow!

That is no coincidence.

Blammo!

This is true, he wanted to ban the OP for telling the truth.

I call for a BACKFIRE BAN! :thumbsup

Eat a mountain of dicks Chris and try not to do too much blow along the way.

Then he broke the NDA by commenting. :-)

We all have the ethics we can afford... me included.

That being said .... own your shitty job and feed your family and dont make a play for passion and love for the industry.

And by all means move to South Beach so you can get your hook up a little easier.... snort!

what's wrong with blow?

I agree.

Those who will work for .XXX are cock suckers, however there is nothing worse than a spineless cock sucker.

Own it and do your thing. A cock sucker you may be, but at least have some dignity about what you are doing, as that will at least get you some respect for being straight up with people. I may not like what someone does, but being straight up will get them a long way.

Nothing if you're snorting it off a Colombian teenage beauty queens back.

Talking about a backfire, damn.

For what it's worth, in don't really care about him taking the job. Everybody needs to make a living right. The thing I do care about is when you don't man up and admit it.

Tell me he is not more hated than the Anal Hobbit now is he?

I don't hate really.

Come on! Ya gotta hate the Anal Hobbit! Everyone does!

I want to be invited to his internext parties :pimp

Anal Hobbit is loathed. Much more worse than hated. :2 cents:

When all is said and done...
People will be buying .XXX domains and those that do will be using statements like "I had to move with the market", "The Industry has changed and with that change we bought "XXX" domains.

Then later on it will break down to "So and so was a smart business man for buying .XXX".


Watch and wait...
Slowly but surely people will break and make excuses for these business decisions and eventually they will be regarded as "Smart" and "Savey" business men, eventually they will be called bro's or something pithy.

We have seen this a million times in the business.
.XXX will be no different.

So I am going to go ahead and just say it...

Congrats Chris, Joan and Greg.
You guys have sealed your fates as the new industry leaders and legends.

Just give it some time.

You think Hobbit will have any tips for how to jack .XXX domains from people?

as a woman i would be careful...

Shelly... I had no idea you were into massive gooey facials :thumbsup

Can you say BUKKAKE PARTY ?? ICM is sponsoring the whole shabang bitch's.

Great post :)
I agree, people might just be scared at first but who knows... all this might just be a HUGE misunderstanding :)

Congrats Chris!

Ariel Rebel Links removed.

Thanks for the heads up.

You are right.

You know its true.

And Ariel I was just kidding:)

Shazam!

Kapow!

Blammo!

LOVE IT :thumbsup

ahahahaha I hate you! you almost gave me a heart attack :P LOL

I will say this, while we are all quick to call out and punish how do we as an industry reward?

I'm not taking a stand for .xxx, but when someone takes a stand in this industry against something, be it spyware / tubesites / xxx in leu of cash - we may give eachother board props at the time- but rarely is someone ever boycotted or blacklisted for sayng fuck it going with the flow and taking the quick buck.

Not saying it's right but we sure don't offer a deterrent. Fabian shows his ass saying he's got a $2 billion buy out budget and nearly everyone lines up to suck his dick.

Maybe instead of always saying "Links Pulled" when someone makes a move to do harm it might not be such a bad idea to say "Links Posted" when someone does something we feel is right?

I just do it, no need to announce it.

Either would be great, just doesn't seem like something we do now but we should. Vote with your traffic / business / dollars. If people engage in shady shit that harms our industry w/ no reprocussion and people who champion our industry never wreap the benefits in a way we become as much to blame for perpetuating the cycle :2 cents:
