50........... :)

I get extra drink tickets at Cybernet for the extra views

You are correct. :thumbsup But you can bet your ass the second .xxx goes on sale everyone will be buying up domains as fast as they can hit "enter" on their keyboards.

Me too -- why the hell does a non profit organization need this much fucking $. Its not like they are feeding the fucking kids. We have the right to know where the $ is going.

PS: see sig. :1orglaugh

I thought you had better reading skills than that.

"While the selling price for .XXX domains has not yet been determined, Jason Hendeles, ICM Registry vice president, said that $10 of each domain sale will be designated to IFFOR to contribute to issues facing the online adult industry, and of those proceeds, a percentage will be donated to the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection and the battle against child pornography."

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So, did we ask that out $10 be donated to that? No. How are we to know if they donated? Is their accountings public?

Why don't you ask IFFOR?

Buy a $60 .xxx and give up my .com? No thanks -- i will get 3 hookers and get a blow job.

Point is, you may not have a choice. I look at the event if it plays out to the .xxx favor as a windfall for the haves. Can you afford to trademark all your domains? Can you compete aginst the "big boys"?

People have supported ASACP because its the PC thing to do, not because they expect ASACP to accomplish a fucking thing. "Just send in a contribution, put up their banner, and they won't mess with us anymore." Bad logic, and I'm glad I didn't fall for it.

However, I think your attack against Sleazy here isn't warranted. Sleazy's support of ASACP was done for the right reasons. :2 cents:

No, no, what i am i saying. You can do way more than that for $60.

I can eather get $60 xxx domain and give up my hard earned com domain.

Or

I can keep my com and with the $60.

Get 2 .com domains = $20
Get a ugly hooker to give me a blow job = $20
Go to restaurant and eat = $10
Buy a dime bag and smoke weed = $10

Even at $60 would you renew all your domains? I have a few.

Fuck man i have like 200+ domains -- it would fucking kill me if i have to loose them. All my google ranking will be lost if i had to switch to xxx. Not to mention going from 200x$10=$2000 to 200x$60=12000. I mean thats a $10K INCREASE a year!

I think that puts you in the ass kissing club according to Choker. Let me clear off a spot on the couch for you. :)

I would have to agree with Steve

Excellent. I entirely agree with you. You resumed gratefully.

Thanks.

I count Sleazy as a friend, and I also respect Choker, although we've never met. I'm not trying to kiss Sleazy's ass, I just call it like I see it. Choker and I can disagree about this, I know the battle between those two runs deep. I would advise both of them to stop attacking each other and tackle bigger mutual issues together. Its crazy to fight amongst ourselves, we have plenty of battles ahead that will require everyone's resources.

I really don't mean to bump this thread but I wanted to add to it some text I copied from the new.net site... in plain english for those that dont want to read on, it says that if icann approves .xxx which already exists with new.net then there will be 2 different registries for .xxx ... which means when you register a .xxx you will have the choice of either registering with new.net OR an icann approved registrar. ... which means ALL the domains currently registered with new.net will be available!!!

9. What will happen if ICANN releases a domain name extension that is identical to a New.net domain name?
We are working very hard to achieve universal resolvability of New.net domain names through a combination of ISP relationships and plug-in downloads. At the same time, we are reaching out to ICANN and its supporters to get them to understand the viability of our names and our approach and to get ICANN to add our names to the "root" servers that they operate. Should ICANN decide to introduce a domain name extension in conflict with one of our extensions and assign it to another registry, they will in fact introduce a "collision" in the name space, something they have professed wanting to avoid. If that were to happen, individual consumers and ISPs would have to choose between the ICANN version and the New.net version of the name. It is our intention to demonstrate a massive market acceptance of our names that will prevent such collisions from being introduced.

Baddog...come on now...Choker has a very valid point...

Here is the part that just tweeks my brain: If .xxx is supposed to be so good and its for a Noble cause "protecting children" hey I would be the first mother fucker to stand and say hey i am involved. But no they stay behind closed doors hiding.

Then the part that makes even sicker to my stomach is there "sales job" to the media, and others saying its for the "children" that one keeps me just so fucking fired up I cant even begin to tell you.

I let Larry Flynts people know exactly what is going on with this deal, and when they called him for comment they ran that bullshit "Protection for the children part" I can tell you that if this sleeping dog wakes up and realizes that our freedom of the internet is being sold out for profit by a small group of greedy people who really dont give a shit about you or me or any of us, all hell is going to break loose.

Also the bunching of all of us onto a .xxx group has already been well recieved by the govt...connect the dots if you will, its almost to much for most to take it all in, but for a second try to think this one thru.

It smells like fucking dog shit....

just an observation.

It appears that one of these two individuals is making a stand. and asking some questions. ( I may not agree with the method but at least he is asking questions) And making his feeling known and trying to some good for the overall community.

The other brilliant GOD of TGP hasn't really said much on the subject. Some people look to him as a leader.

"Sleazy is not in the US so 2257 doesn't affect him"
"Sleazy is on the board of Asacp, he's getting ....blah blah blah"

People are thinking it, as I said I may not appreciate the method but at least he asked.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Mike, I suggest you read Choker's post again. He is implying that Sleazy is gettign a cut of the proceeds. That is bullshit, and he knows it.

I do not support .xxx, and I think ASACP fucked up getting involved, but apparently they can't see past the immediate financial gain.

That has nothing to do with Scott. Choker is just being an asshole and trying to make people that don't read past the first paragraph of any thread that doesn't have (pics) in the title think that Scott has something to gain by the imposition of .xxx TLD's

Baddog, I love ya man...i cant wait to see you in San Diego for sure, i got a nice Cuban cigar for ya.

I dont think Scott is in this deal, i have been told many times who is the group hiding in the dark, on this deal, not once has his name ever come up.

:pimp

I would be willing to bet Scott has nothing to gain by the implementation of .xxx, whether ASACP gets a cut or not.

If Choker was not making his bullshit accusations I would probably be done making these directory submissions for today. However, all work and no play makes baddog a dull boy.

See ya at the White Trash Bash . . . . I am thinking I will shave my head for it, as I would never wear a mullet.

If .XXX is so noble to keep the kids away, then why the $60 charge?
Why 4x the amount of any other domain extension.

One thing is for sure.. someone is getting paid.

sorry - i almost fell out of my chair laughing at that one.


so choker - did you buy a nice dress to wear for the tgp party yet?

lol - i think choker would have done will in politics in the 50's.



I can just see him accusing people that he doesn't like now going - "he's a communist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I agree on that :(

It's kinda sad that most popular one word terms in .xxx are not available....I find that very odd.

can't you have a rational conversation without resorting to name-calling and conspiracy theories?

ASACP is a non-profit organisation, as such any money they make goes into a fund, not to the board members. If you feel so strongly about any supposed wrong-doing then I suggest you review their finances yourself.

Far-fetched allegations may have been fun in school but in the real world they have serious consequences.

The concept of XXX domains can be dressed up to appear logical, but that is as far as it goes. There are no potential benefits for the public unless adult sites are confined only to such domains: those benefits are achievable in other ways, at far less cost and risk to us. There is nothing but bad news in this concept for the adult industry, no matter how far down the road you look.

Lensman's attempt to justify the new TLD was half-hearted. The thread left a very bad taste.

Bump :thumbsup

wtfffffff:eek7

This whole .xxx thing stinks and i'm sure some people are going to make a killing with it...

How is it bullshit? Beasty Boy has yet to say "No I am not getting a cut"

What is bullshit is this form letter Joan posted trying to pass it off as not supporting the .xxx Someone agreed to give ASACP a cut from the sales. Was it out of the goodwill in their heart to do this? OMFG. Someone is getting greased good from this deal. Now do you think this decision was made with that letter being the only correspondence? Why doesn't Joan post the letters that surely have to exist that discuss giving ASACP a portion of the proceeds. Was it just to help "the children" or was it in return for ASACP's support of .xxx ???? Give me a fucking break. There are some rotten rats on this ship. I for one would like to know who they are. As far as I am concerned any member of ASACP may be the rotten rat that suggested selling us out. Surely Joan got the opinions of some of the members before agreeing to support this .xxx crap.

Then PLEASE spill the beans man.

My penis is 2257 compliant

That's just a stupid statement. You know as well as I do that he did not choose to have a beast banner up there

The way he advertise AFF, I'm sure he made way more then that . And look at all the gallery traffic he gets ...

As entertaining as this thread is, is there any basis for your allegation other than your everlasting vendetta with Sleazy? I agree this new development is not positive, and I doubt the integrity of ASACP's finger in this but you could accuse TheHun as easily as Sleazy... unless you have a solid reason for it.

:2 cents:

I haven't seen you post that you did not have anything to do with the attack on the WTC.

I knew there was something I did not like about you. Fucking terrorist.

:GFYBand

I was thinking that I might get some real info in the thread, but it turned into a fight. Will someone with the info about them getting paid for the.xxx please start another thread?

I think baddog's question is valid.

I asked lensman in his thread and got no reply.

Seeing as how he obviously came out FOR the .xxx domains , i think its only fair we know if lensman has made any deals for adult.xxx etc etc I'm not saying he is , but i would like to know..

This thread was never intended to provide information. Choker was only interested in providing lies and innuendo.
