Comment Wrong way around. We need "xxx." not ".xxx" (Score 1) 322
Maybe I'm way off base here, but ever since I first heard mention of a .xxx TLD, I instantly thought "Wouldn't it be better to have a 'xxx.' prefix instead?"
I mean, we don't have a .www TLD for 'world wide web' sites and a .email TLD for e-mail addresses. '.xxx' for a company's adult-rated site makes exactly the same amount of sense; i.e. not very much at all.
People seem to have lost sight that the prefix on a domain name signifies the function of the server under the domain, so www.yourdomain.tld is your website and mail.yourdomain.tld is your mailserver; If you're going to run an adults only site xxx.yourdomain.tld seems like the logical choice to me.
Scrupulous DNS hosters (like ISPs) could then encourage the use of such a prefix for their customers who are running that kind of site.
An example of this usage might be, say, Google Images with safe-search turned _off_ running from xxx.images.google.com, or Heff running his online corporate newsletter from www.playboy.com and pictures of the bunnies at xxx.playboy.com.
Or am I just spouting crazy talk here?
