I really wish this thread would just die, but before it does I'll add my $0.02 ;-) . I'm not sure anyone is suggesting that a client would chose not to go with CF because somebody in the porn industry is using it. I really don't think that is the basis of the argument. I simply think people do not want porn sites listed on gotcfm, and I can see their point.
Imagine doing a presentation for a potential customer and part of the presentation may be discussing the merits of CF vs another language. Part of the presentation included demonstrating who is using CF, so you decide to bring up gotCFM.com and show them that. Then, in the presentation room, in mixed company, you see a site entitled "Sally sucks big ****". In my opinion, and I would be the majority of people in this list, that would not be good for business. If the purpose of the site is to provide a tool for the CF community to use to demonstrate who is using CF, we would get the best bang for our buck by not including porn sites. Why? My bet is that there are people who simply will not use gotCFM.com if porn sites are included in the list, but I doubt the opposite it true. Is there really anyone out there who says, "unless gotCFM.com includes porn sites, I'm not going to use it"? I doubt it.
