I wonder how much xxx.xxx will go for?

and se.xxx, sex.xxx, surely they'll be quite the money spinner.

[Pob255]

Forget that, this is a major money spinner, think how many major sites will have bought the .xxx address to stop some p0rn site from using it.

Just think what www.youtube.xxx would go for it it was on the open market.

So..... Who's bought Hexus.xxx?

[Steven W]

There are lots of domains available that you'd be really surprised about. this is a potential money-maker in the long term...not that I've been looking or anything

So..... Who's bought Hexus.xxx?

Apparently its still available lol, Though it first to register interest gets it from what I can tell, so more then likely gone. Oh if you buy it you get Hexus.Info for a extra 32p, bargain.

I don't think anyone would want to tune into HEXUS.xxx to see the HEXUS staff in compromising positions.

Is that a disparagement of our dear old Nick?

I cant see the appeal of buying a .xxx domain name - knowing that every institution / business on the planet will almost immediately blanket ban access to that domain...?

Isn't that kinda the point? .xxx material is for the comfort of your own home.

Makes the admins' jobs a lot easier

[.havoc]

Have they made all the other registered sites transfer over to the xxx domain by any chance?

If not then...why bother? I can only see the point of this if ALL porn sites are being made to register with a .xxx and stop any adult content on any other registration. Otherwise this is just going to literally double the amount of porn on the net...

Not that i'm complaining...

Lol I know that (though I know a large chunk of the worldwide work force arent) - I meant the appeal of buying a domain that is most likely going to be innaccesible to many people... especially in countries / places or on ISPs who choose to censor content heavily...

Surely you'd want a domain that has a chance of going unnoticed?

Not really, that would be an obvious trademark grab, so I think Google would easily get it transferred over to them (assuming that they haven't already defensively registered it).
