just in case anybody is interested in my comment to the .XXX proposal...
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's amazing to me that the .XXX proposal continues to plague not only the adult industry, but also ICANN and the rest of the Internet. I cannot see where the proposed TLD serves any purpose at all. It will do nothing to protect anybody who does not want to see adult content from bumping into it on occasion. How many existing adult...

Last year I did a recap of CyberNet, so it seems only fitting I do one again. This was my second CyberNet and a TOTALLY different experience than last year. Different in that it was no longer my first time and I was able to stay for the entire show. Being able to stay for the entire show was HUGE!

If I were to try and characterize a "typical" adult webmaster, I'm 99% sure that I couldn't get it done. From the shows I've been to and talked with a variety of them and the boards I'm active on or have been active on, the only thing that is for sure is that the group known as "adult webmasters" is as diverse as any group on the planet.
