Universities block triple-X domain names

I see that cellar-dot-xxx is still available... ;)

Prolly a different kind of cellar...

Kasszia "Lurking for fun and profit."
:eyebrow:

vatican.xxx and www.vatican.xxx are "reserved from registration".


damn lawyers.

Tay-B; or, not Tay-B? NOT Tay-B, ... is B-Tay!

How is this different from any other kind of domain name camping?

Because domain name camping is done by someone who has nothing to do with the brand, holding it in the hopes that someone who does have something to do with the brand will want the name.

The universities already own the brand; they are preventing domain name camping before it can happen.

So its more like domain-packing before domain camping?

Or maybe like pepper-spraying any campers who come near your domain. Stand Your Ground!

so, clodfobble.com and clodfobble.xxx are the same thing? They don't say the same thing to me, and presumably, the ones ending with .xxx won't be used. That's camping. I'm just gonna get this, but not use it.

I understand your point. What are they gonna do with them? Redirect to the .edu domain? Cause that might be weird...

Given what student loans do to your finances, it might be quite appropriate.

Well, I imagine you wouldn't be especially offended at being associated with whatever someone else happens to put on BigV.xxx. But just ask Santorum what he thinks of having his name appropriated for XXX purposes.

:lol: touche' !!

Well, knick-knack paddywhack ...
