Interesting. Would boards like 4chan have to use it?

Read a while back it will cost $60, and that $10 will go to stopping child abuse.

No shit. Seeing a big XXX is a much more noticeable red flag than a sea of dot-coms.

Yeah, because www.chickswithmotherfuckingdicks.com or whatever looks pretty innocent sitting there in the browser history.

It's not being forced on people. Just like Swedish sites don't have to use .se or British sites don't have to use .co.uk

I thought the buttons were indented at first, and that the keyboard was thus strange and confusing. I always expect pictures of 3D objects to be taken from the right for some reason.

When given the chance, I make all clients’ www subdomains redirect.

This isn't going to go anywhere...

for similar attempts at categorizing the web see the .biz, .mobi and .jobs domains.... all of which failed because .com, .org and .net are first nature to people, the average person on the internet doesn't hear the word domain name and doesn't give a shit about the difference they just know .com because they use it all the time.

Actually many sites will redirect example.jobs to example.com/careers or something similar. Not all alternative TLDs took off, but they also tended to be very specific and unheard of, targeting small groups on the internet.

Whereas the "xxx" domain targets a lot of sites. People watch a lot of porn, and it's one of the biggest uses of the internet.
