I think the .xxx or .sex people should do a bit more marketing. If I have a co-ordinated list of operational alternate TLD's once the next phase of the dot.GOD beta test is underway - I would be pleased to communicate the URL's to the dot.god beta testers. I have no doubt those tld's will be of interest to them. > Many force their content into the mainstream by abusing the honesty > system. There isn't an easy solution. I partially agree with what you say here. I don't agree with Senator Joseph Lieberman that porno tld's are the way to go. What family values groups need are "safe" tld's - where the registry ensures that only good wholesome family values oriented firms are registered. I have advocated this poition for some time. The key to controlling porn content is not to create porno tld's - but to create safe use tld's where you restrict registrations and keep out the porno people. That's the way to do it right. regards Joe Baptista http://www.dot.god/ dot.GOD Hostmaster +1 (805) 753-8697
