Boo!
I hope you had a great Halloween.

2. Final Chance to Protect Against .XXX Domain Names – ICM Registry ended up extending the “final chance” a few days, resulting in about 80,000 applications for .xxx domain names.
3. .XXX Has Grossed $10 Million Already – the final number came in at $13 million before auctions.
4. What Do You Think of the TRAFFIC Auction Lineup? – in the end the auction disappointed.
5. Large Moniker Client Sues Over Expired Domains – a large Moniker client apparently let a majority of its domain names expire over the years and says it wasn’t aware of it.
