can't say I'm really surprised. No one seemed to want the extension to begin with.

You mean he might be bullshitting us?????????????

Well.. he blatantly bullshitted his way to get .xxx (while at the same time ignoring every single one of the thousands upon thousands of industry related people against it)... so ya.. i believe it.. lol

:thumbsup

I can back that up, I've spoken to two idiots from Canada that aren't going to renew their .XXX domains, they bought them for a quick resell and cant find anyone to take them off their hands.

Great, so how much profit have you made over the reg fees of your 4 .xxx domains?

For a good laugh read http://domainincite.com/is-xxx-really-that-crappy/ Hilarious how these domainers keep trying to fool themselves into believing that .xxx isn't doing too badly. :1orglaugh

Gay.xxx ranking page 1 for gay xxx is the only .xxx ranking I've heard of. $500,000 well spent, right? :1orglaugh

Found this tweet earlier to be pretty funny :)

I'll actually give you an honest answer about profit here on GFY (shocking). I've made just a little over the initial registration fee and little more than the amount required to pay the renewal fees coming up. I'm not here pretending to be a baller, or saying the way ICM went about this whole thing is a great way of doing business, just that I'm not going to give something up that has potential and won't allow myself to pressured by others who hate ICM.

Refocusing that hate for .xxx on card bangers, piracy, shaving, cheating...you know, the real issues that have destroyed business would be a better focus in my opinion.

very interesting read, thank you for posting!

Just as the overwhelming majority came together as an industry whole to not allow ourselves to be pressured into .xxx because of a variety of factors. You instead chose to cross the picket line.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Where is that overwhelming majority? You mean the ones who kept quiet when they registered their .xxx domains and didn't publicly admit to owning them? The ones who redirect to their .coms, have their pages parked, or have them reserved? The ones who accept traffic and sales from .xxx owners? GTFO :321GFY

I have 4 .xxx domains and I'm a scab and the scourge of the industry in your eyes...that's seriously hilarious.

When is the industry going to come together and fight card banging, piracy, shaving, and cheating? You can't even call someone out anymore without having a thread disappear or having the bro club defend their thieving buddies.

According to Raven Tools gay.xxx ranks an average position of 12 for "gay xxx", it's only in the US, Australia and intermittently the UK they are on page one.

The parking page hurts them, they rank for no other good or average keywords.

New data from ICANN and six months of dot-XXX traffic in stat sites reveals the TLD is an oversold bust http://www.zdnet.com/blog/violetblue...re-a-sham/1279
