You guys think this is real? .xxx domain extension

With ".xxx" finally joining the ranks of top-level domains including ".com" and ".edu," decades of speculation about the impact of this new Web destination will finally be put to the test.

I think this is hilarious. Typing .xxx will be really weird (if this is real...however I don't know if I can take this seriously).

That would be awesome

**sakura080789** · 04-18-2011, 07:01 PM

oh snap this would be epic

**Sprite-** · 04-18-2011, 07:02 PM

I guess it'll be great for blocking these websites...but I kind of find this whole thing a bit silly.

**emulord** · 04-18-2011, 07:03 PM

Anyone else like how .biz is for shady businesses who were too cheap to get .com?

Izzy · 04-18-2011, 07:08 PM

Is it going to primary be for adult content?

Yes, did you read the article?

**Sprite-** · 04-18-2011, 07:11 PM

Uhhh wouldn't that be the only sensible thing to assume?

This. But I don't see how you find it 'silly'. Just seems like an average attempt to group porn sites.

**Sweet_Feet** · 04-18-2011, 07:17 PM

Genius.

**Sprite-** · 04-18-2011, 07:17 PM

I just feel like it's completely unnecessary.
.xxx doesn't really sound professional.

I suspect sounding professional isn't terribly high on their list of priorities.

**Sprite-** · 04-18-2011, 07:30 PM

That may be true.
I don't know about anyone else, but if I ever saw a website that had an .xxx extension, the first thing I'd think is "VIRUS" and I wouldn't click on it.

**DossarLX ODI** · 04-18-2011, 07:40 PM

Agreed. I wouldn't even bother with the site

cedolad · 04-18-2011, 07:40 PM

Maybe it's a way to group virus porn sites lol

**xXAll-ProXx** · 04-18-2011, 07:42 PM

lol www.xxx.xxx would be a cool site.

DJMAYYYNE · 04-18-2011, 07:42 PM

I'd think porn myself lol

It would be something new. It would take some time to get use to, but seeing as porn is the majority of the internet, I wouldn't expect it to not catch on within a short time interval.

If this is true, then wouldn't existing porn sites have to switch domain names? And on top of that, I think this would bring a ton of debates over what defines a porn site.
