.XXX revived with threats and violence
Anybody be checking out this crazy shit?
Seems like Xbiz and Alec Helmy are the latest recruits to try and jam the .XXX top level domain down the industry's throat. Apparently there was some debate where Helmy was asked if he supported it or not followed by his moderators posting pictures of themselves with guns and talking smack about "cracking heads for fun". I guess gigacash isnt doing so well anymore. It sure has got Mike South pretty pissed off. You can see the pics in question and read his recap at mikesouth.com if your interested. Ill be crossing anything Xbiz off my list. |

Gonzo, I wrote xbiz off when Helmy saw everything we had on sponsorchat and let them remain on the xbizaward nomination list.
The whole xxx thing would be horrible for this business. And like Mike South, I had high hopes for xbiz when they started doing shows. I thought if anyone could knock avn off their high horse, it would have been xbiz. They seemed to have a handle on the webmaster community. But, who doesn't know about Sponsorchat? I saw posted elsewhere "all real webmasters know that sponsorchat is a scam". Those pictures of the xbiz employees with guns is just the cherry on top for me. |

It does seem more likely now. One thing is for sure - they are slapping and grinning with each other as if they know a mighty big secret. I guess that they dont realize that Mike is from the South and brandishing guns in pictures would be seen as a pure keyboard warrior move. I guess when you know your in the wrong and ashamed of it ... the only choice is to resort to threats. Classless. |

http://boards.xbiz.com/showthread.ph...threadid=36942 hey Mike South...Alec Helmy here... RE: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=701086 As far as me somehow facilitating .XXX to get approved - heh, as if I have that kinda power - thanks, I'm flattered. Believe it or not, no one within the adult industry has the power to get .XXX approved. What XBIZ has done is facilitate an open dialogue with a TLD that may get approved and has the power to impact our industry. We can either turn a blind eye or instead try to learn about its plans, ask questions and do whatever we can to influence its direction for the best interest of the industry - I along with many others prefer the latter, as is evident in the number of folks attending the event.

Alec also told me that he posted this over on GFY:
I do not support .XXX because of the various concerns and unknowns already discussed on the boards. Should it get approved, it'll be best to try to influence its direction - and not for financial gains. |

This board has shown Xbiz a great deal of support in the past. Are we not worth his time to make a personal visit to c&p his response?
