It took longer than the expected 24 hours but the first emails for setting up the required ICM Member account were finally sent out by the ICM Registry.
The email looks like this:
Subject: ICM Member Account Setup
Dear [username]: Thank you for applying for .XXX domain name(s). Once you activate your .XXX Membership Account, you will be able to use your .XXX domain name(s). If you wish to activate your .XXX domain name(s), please click on this LINK to complete your Membership Application. Any information you submit to ICM Registry via the above link will be governed by the ICM Registry Privacy Policy. You will only be required to complete this process once to cover all your .XXX domain names. If you do not wish to activate your .XXX domain names(s), no further action is necessary. Your .XXX domain name(s) will remain yours under your registrar account but you will not be able to make them live or host any content on them until you complete ICM Registry’s Membership Application. If you feel that you have received this email in error please click HERE or contact us at www.icmregistry.com. Sincerely, ICM Registry. Please note that this link will expire 5 days from the time it was sent.
The link takes one to a panel where the date of birth and contact information is required in order to obtain a Member Authorization Token.
Once the info entry is completed, a four digit PIN number is delivered to one’s phone number. We chose the option to call out.
The PIN number completes the sign up process and the Member Authorization Token – an alphanumeric string of 16 characters – is allocated.
Registrars like GoDaddy require this token – GoDaddy calls it “.XXX Membership ID” – to activate .XXX domains in one’s account.
The process took only 5 minutes to complete, including the phonecall.
Hopefully I get my email soon!
Well look at that! I just got the email!
It expires in 5 days? WHY? so if you missed the email and it expires. Then you can’t
even contact them! Why does it need to expire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron , when did you register? I am waiting for my email!!!!
Membership card to reg a domain?……….BS!
Alan – Nothing wrong with shifting the paradigm.
3rd day and still waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF
I am ready to launch my hot site…………HONEYS……………. come on lets go, waiting, waiting, waiting
4 days, still waiting for email. 3 registrations on different days. I sent an email to them, got a refer #, but no response… Come on guys, you got enough money now to hire more crew to clear the backlog…
going on to the 6th day, waiting waiting waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hire some temps ICM damn it!
Monica – Your domain is live, congratulations. No more spamming.
Lucius. What do you mean my site is live? It is not. I never got my email from ICM to become a member yet. I can not do anything till then…………….
Monica – You own honeys triple x, correct? The site is live. So what are you waiting for?
Yes it is my domain. How can it be live, if I am not a member of the adult community yet? How can it be live if I never got the email? How can it be live if I have not done anything with it yet? How can it be live when I type in the URL, and it reads “Server not found”?
Very bizarre. I swear it resolved yesterday when I checked but it doesn’t now.
It is ok. you probably just typed it in as .COM cause it is still habit. Thanks anyway
Monica – No, that wasn’t the case. Very odd. I hope you receive the ICM email soon or you might have to give them a buzz.
do you have a number for me? I have emailed them numerous times with no luck. send it to my email address? Thanks
Unfortunately no.
Hello,
Seems many people are waiting for the authentication email. I registered on 12/7 and have yet to get the email….
Today is exactly 1 week and no email. They don’t even respond to emails or inquiries on their site. They have not even listed the contact phone. It feels like they got the millions the wanted and now they don’t give a sh** if their product works or not… Probably they should have relegated the authentication to the respective registrars…….
raise your hand! ICM sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everybody! tell icm your feeling on their facebook page here……….https://www.facebook.com/ICMREGISTRY?sk=wall
Thanks
well look at that! Got my email! it was that facebook page or my constant complaining to godaddy that work!!!! I am in!!!!!
Monica – Yay! 😀
Hello!
Could someone please inform on how long it takes for ICM to send on over the email ..after registering a domain on 12/7?
Thanks!
Got the email but when clicking on the button to be sent a pin number to my phone in order to complete the membership process, I clicked on it numerous times over several days and NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE TO MY PHONE. And now the 5 days have passed and the whole thing has expired. AND, I have filled out several of their support forms with my email and phone number and NO RESPONSE. IS ANYBODY HOME????? Are they just overloaded or is the whole ICM organization a bunch of B.S.? Talk about a massive fail.
