Hell, with all the other paedos.

lol, just sayin, there's gray areas, kids will always find ways around these things. So why make mr. .xxx a multi-millionaire, i'm quite sure the pron industry won't take kindly to this.

1. There is no "Mr. xxx"
2. No site will be forced to use the xxx domain or drop their current one.
3. As Seamus pointed out 4chan.org could stay the same and if they wanted could also use 4chan.xxx to point to the same website.

PICS OR GTFO!

Maybe you should take the hint that that hasn't been funny in a long, long time.

Meh..
What the hell difference is it going to make?

There is no way that every site will move to .XXX
In fact I doubt that even 5% will.

It's a new domain, go for it.
But don't actually expect it to change a single thing about the interwebs.

It Just sounds like clever marketing and advertising for the domain to me..

A lot of spam* involves Porn,
I normally trust QI about stuff like that.. but no way.
There is LOAAAADS of porn on the interwebs.. It has to be more than 1%

I would block Asian porn. All those pixilated genitals & strange female Asian moaning makes it fairly pointless.

Mightn't be that far of in site content, but I'd say time spent may be far higher.

Take America, 25% spend their time on social networking sites, Facebook has 84%, Twitter only 1%, so there is probably some anomaly going on there.

Games after that, 10%. E-mail, instant messaging are popular too.

Other is 34%, so it is probably all that!

And if someone dosent want to move to it they just go host the porn in some other country that dident pass the law

Kids will get around it by proxies

It would be unenforceable and pointless

The owner is a Nigerian prince. I just bought www.boards.xxx from him for $5000. A great price as I think it's worth 5 times that amount. Just think....a pornographic version of boards.ie !!

You could only get that if you owned boards.com

Pre-owned

You may apply on behalf of your clients that are members of the Sponsored Community
for domains in .xxx that they already own in .com, .net or another ICANN recognized
TLD, such as a country code TLD. You must currently manage these domains on behalf
of your client. This process is called Name Reservation.

What do you guys think of the .xxx top-level domain idea?
