That's one theory. I think it's a little more likely that people use them because link lists, adult directories and DMOZ all require them. Not to mention their spider-trapping goodness.Originally posted by p00p

They make money. Best reason to use em.Comment

2 reasons:
1- If a site is ever brought into court, they can illustrate that they made no effort to trick the surfer into viewing the porn, in fact they put up a page to help the surfer avoid seeing anything naughty that they didn't want to see. Nothing's going to free a pornographer from liability in a country ran by Jesus, but little things like that can make a difference.
2- a warning page is a good lead into an FPA, which is a good lead in to a sale.Comment

You need a good warning page, an overpaid lawyer who keeps you paranoid and a zip code database if you want to really succeed in this business.Originally posted by DjSap

I about being paranoid, all you to do is get arrested once. Its was funny my lawyer was talking to me about having copies of the pics and websites in another place , that way if the federal gov ever came in and took it all you still operate. I told him the day(it would have to be a real slow day compared to most sites out there ,we are wholesome lol ) the federal gov knocks on my door is the day I am retired from the adult web business lol.Comment

All my sites have legal pages... according to my attorney it shows an act of "good faith".

While it's not a legally binding agreement, it does show a good faith effort to keep people from seeing your porn site by mistake.
If they have to choose between prosecuting you with your warning page or someone with full on hardcore right at the root of the domain, they'll take the easier case and go after the guy with no warning page.
It's an easy, simple, act of good faith and it may make a difference someday.<a href="http://www.adultcontent.co.uk">Adult Content UK - Great British Content</a>Comment

Since, very soon we won't be able to use any kind of pop up windows, using warning pages allow you to force the user to view and ad before accessing your main page...Plus, I think it helps as far as search engines are concerned....Comment

i remember for a while sites were linking disney.com and the like from their warning pages for under 18 users.
this resulted in people typing a search for disney and coming up with a bunch of porn sites. perhaps it was a campaign launched by walt himself???!?@#!???
conspiracy theorists uniteComment
-
you guys are crazy to believe warning pages are there for legal reasons, this is 2003 right? no one visits porn sites unless they look for porn
the purpose of warning pages is to have them listed as Free Sites, most link lists require it anyways and just like SpaceAce says its good spider foodComment
-
To put huge ads on them. Whenever I make freesites for link lists i try to get rid of the surfer before he even enters my site and wastes my bandwidth looking at pics. I send more of my surfers to sponsor from the warning than any other page. Just put a nice big ad on top, another ad after the warning scroll box, the enter link, and then another ad on the bottom, lol.Comment

How many surfers are lost on the "warning" page though
As people have said, there are plenty of reasons to have a warning page. First, you show good faith, and maybe even scare away a couple of kids. Second, you get into more link places, some of which require them. Third, you can save on bandwidth, by not dropping people right into a more bw intensive tour page or whatever. Fourth, it also means you can have a way to skip the page with a lot of your outgoing links, if people want a clean tour. Seems like a pretty reasonable practice to me.

No, I should have said... I can't get the write colors matched up. I use IE, not netscape. Also, I changed the font tag but other things on that page weren't viewable, so I've gotta figure that outOriginally posted by FATPad

Just stick a font tag right around the text.

Even legally, it MIGHT help a bit in terms of perception. After all, this is an area where opinion counts a lot. Also, you need to put up a ยง2257 Custodian of Records notice anyway, so you might as well do a warning at the same time.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Does not a good book have a cover?! (Unless you're FatPad buying comics at the second hand store lol)
Its like that kid that had the freesite earlier... Have a warning index on something like that and then plug it thru to one page inside and then off to his own new domain and his problems would be solved.
Did he HAVE one?! Of course not. So he has alot more work to do to retain his SE traffic.
Someone with Clinton... attorney general or someone like that, said back in the mid 90's that he would rather see that being used since kids can and WILL hit adult sites from some Idiot using 'spice girls, pokiemon" etc in his metas.
Hand them a blank (warning) so they dont get the shock of their lives. I had that happen with my 9 yr old step daughter. It even startled me, and I am unflusterable.
