It was announced this past week that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has once again shelved plans for adding the .xxx domain to the internet. However, it appears that the organization has in fact decided to make a home for pornography related websites, and that home is .sin.

Apparently, ICANN has decided to make the new .sin domain a place for not only pornography related sites, but also gambling, gaming, homosexual, atheist, and vegetarian websites. ICANN is most likely hoping to appease supporters of creating a separate domain for pornography, while also being able to advertise their disapproval over the content itself.

“We acknowledge the need for a separate and safe reserve for certain types of sites,” a spokesman for ICANN said yesterday. “The choice in the domain name was completely random and should not be taken as anything other than random letters connected together.”

The denial of the motivation behind the choice in domain doesn’t seem to be bothering adult website owners though. An anonymous adult web master replied saying “we’re just excited that we will finally have our very own place on the web to run our businesses. With adult websites being as popular as they are, it was only a matter of time.”

There is no official date set for when the new domain will become available. One thing is certain, the domain squatters will be out in full force trying to buy up as many popular domains as possible.
