Post: ICANN Approves .xxx Domain for Adult Sites
03-19-2011, 06:59 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A spokesman for ICANN, which holds jurisdiction over top-level domains, confirmed the go-ahead.

249Email Print ICM Registry, the nonprofit organization that has been pushing to establish .xxx, will distribute it to porn sites. Even before approval, the site hosted a start-up plan pending the proposed domain's entry.

"In order to provide an orderly process for members of the registrant community and to use our resources effectively during this intervening period, ICM has decided to undertake the first phase of the Industry Reservation Period," the group's site said.

In June, ICANN's board of directors approved the top-level domain, which is the technical name for the .com, .xxx or .net part of a URL . It was sent to the next committee for approval.

In the past, ICM Registry has argued that the .xxx domain is beneficial to the public, because it indicates a clear signal that the domain contains pornography.

Well it seems that pornsites will slowly make the transition to .xxx sites. Maybe a Pr0nH*b.xxx link.

Tell me what you think

Well I Always Get 'whitechickslovebigblackdicks.xxx' Mixed Up With 'whitechickslovebigblackwoodensticks.xxx' All The Time. :angel:

True. The school has so manny budget cuts.


I wouldn't complaint if the Internet there covers the whole school's territory (it's wi-fi) or the computers had a decent amount of RAM considering they have Vista and it's annoying.

owait, I meant they have XP but people put a lot of garbage there instead of using the computers to do something productive, like that homework you had to do 3 days ago but you were too busy fapping =D
