I guess until less experienced domainers take years to build up their domain portfolios and all the lessons learned from that hard work they will not see why the best of the best professional domainers left Afternic.
I am done talking in this post as it seems many think its all about censorship. Saying " I believe its wrong to censor" or something like " I support those who keep out adult names" is not the issue. Who cares about that. We make those choices every day, what we like or do not like.
My domain friends who have decided to leave Afternic don't give a damn if we can or cannot list certain names there. What we care about is telling us we can't in one email and then damning those who do by labeling us and the industry that support adult names.
Its not about if you are me or a different members views about the subject , its about Afternic declaring those industry leaders who allow adult names for sale as promoting hate and violence.
Personally I salute companies like Moniker and Sedo who allow adult domains. I do not think Afternic does so when they delcare industry leaders who allow adult domains to be not living up to "industry standards".
I take this view not because I have much investment in adult domains. I own hundreds of domains and I might have ten that are of adult content. I take the view because I am a professional domainer and companies I choose to deal with will have industry standards that I agree with.
