Now, why has this perfect (but not 100%) solution taking so long to instate? ICANN (not understand what meathead is running the organization) is the guilty party!

An obvious solution, for controlling online porn viewing by un-wanting eyes, was presented to The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), over five-years ago. It was quickly squashed/rejected, without an intelligent debate and for no good reason.

Think of it this way: you are out one day and you want to hire/acquire a hooker, so what do you do? Simple, you go where the hookers are.
Not, while your shopping at Wally-Mart ladies (or gentlemen) of the eve jump out at you from the trailer accessories aisles. (Oh, is the whining I hear ... and me without cheese?)

I have no issues with adult-sites being located on a dedicated or ‘red-light’ domain, as that clearly states the intentions of the site, as well the visitor – you are about to view triple-X content … porn.
I am not sure about others in this industry, but as someone who tries to do things honestly, I am not interested in visitors whom were originally looking for Hello Kitty wear, but instead were directed to our site. I want someone that is looking for porn.

The idea is very simple, yet very effective - ALL porn belongs on a XXX domain! Want porn … you know where to go. (WOW, just imagine what ratios will look like.)
Mummy & Daddy … you can now control your child’s online experience by blocking all .xxx domains. EASY PEASY (now piss-off and go to the next crusade on your list)!

I have heard/received a ton of static for my point of view by ‘colleagues’ whom feel this will rip money from their grubby little mitts … too bad, your past earnings, chances are, have been generated by means and intentions which are not good (think blood money).

I believe things need to be done for the right reason, not the greedy ones.

Thanks for the article Paco :wink:

It will be very good if this dommain zone will be available for webmasters, I'm waiting for it.

But I think that the existant porn sites mustn's be moved to xxx zone.

My pleasure Yahook -- this is something very important, as it will help remove the stigma or reputation that our industry is evil or bad.

Yes, the new domain will put many of the shady companies out of business, but who cares ... not I. I believe it is Spring Cleaning time.

A lot of complained about JennaJameson's autobiography ('Make Love Like A Porn Star', or whatever) sitting on the shelves of the local bookstore "it's porn, and it does not belong there. It should be in adult bookstore, where it belongs..."
Now the person I just quoted, from one of the other popular forums, is out too lunch, as the book is not porn, but the idea is correct.
