Well, I knew they were trying to get this done forever, and now that they have, I guess it takes away the lame excuse of "oops I didn't know it would take me there"
Internet Approves .XXX Domain Just for Porn

Completely useless.
All sites are not going to voluntarily move to the .xxx domain. They might open up another address there, but they won't leave their existing URLs.
They want traffic. They want you to stumble on their sites and never leave. That's why they pick names that are really close to "real" (i.e. non-porn) sites, and that's why they open up a zillion pop-ups when you get there.
Probably the only two things it'll do is:
1) Make it easier for those looking for porn to find it (not like it's hard to do in the first place), and
2) Give parents/schools/libraries/etc. a false sense of security when they block ".xxx" and think they've blocked all porn.

Well, yeah, but considering the ratio of porn to anything else in terms of # of pages, you've got better chances getting a porn page randomly than losing at russian roulette.OctalLord said:
By that logic you should also be questioning what the Twilight star 'potentially' being related to Vlad the Impaler, or the creation of a bionic cat have to do with the site's core premise. It's just news about something cool/weird/unusual/related in some way to the internet/etc.HK_01 said:

...I see what you did there!
"Grab your dick and double click for porn...porn...porn!"

Hahaha, that's excellent.
this is the internet. For it to represent any kind of internet and digital culture porn MUST be present almost all the time. Rule 34. LolHK_01 said:

The Escapist has never been JUST a videogame site. If it were just a videogame site, we wouldn't have an columns [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/anime].HK_01 said:
It's a site about escapism and gamer/nerd/internet culture. Most of the time, our news revolves around games, yes, but a lot of the time it also revolves around "stuff that we think is cool and we think our audience will think is cool/interesting, too."
It's just for people who want to use it because they're feeling nice. Just like .com is only for commercial companies and .net for ISPs and .org for nonprofits and no one has ever violated those suggestions and I have a nice bridge to sell you if you believe that.Deiphagia said:
