.xxx passed.

Bill, you could end up with a situation where either affiliate programs would dry up, or those that remain might only take traffic from .xxx domains. Again, it depends on who decides to flip the switch.

Now, the US government sort of said today they aren't thrilled with ICANN's move, suggesting that there may be a move at that level to block .xxx from getting into the DNS, or even action to reverse the ICANN decision. Even the US government can see the potential for blocking of free speech, and certainly .xxx would be a 1st amendment issue if things get pushed in that direction.

Myself, I am looking to pare down my .com collection, because I can see where things are heading. It isn't pretty, no matter what.
