Well, the ads will not be userfriendly, so that makes it a different site...

I personally wouldnt put up the ads, if they are pornagraphic, its one thing to advertise a clean ad, when possible kids will see it, then a dirty one.

This should not happen with a good design. Of course on the main page of your directory there should be no pics and so on.
But maybe it's even better to cobrand and make a new directory dedicated to this topic with ads for it running in your main directory.

We had developed a site for a client a long time back. It was an adult webmaster resources site. Please note that we did nothing with the content. We only did the programming and the database work.... :)

I think it should be showcased in a separate domain, or it might tarnish your reputation to the non-adult audiences.

I mean, can you imagine going to www.yourhost.com and finding a link to www.********** there?

Edit: Wow didn't know goat-se* was THAT famous!!! Chicken you've been naughty.

I don't think a web hosting directory should exclude the "adult" market, it's too big and lucrative. If you are concerned about insulting/offending or giving access to minors then put up some sort of disclamer with age varification click through to warn and protect yourself.

:pimp:

Or, you could do like hostsearch does and include it in the normal searches, and all you have to do is click a checkbox if you want only adult hosts. That way, its part of your main site, but if a person doesnt want a host that offers adult, they dont have to view them.

Dmoz mixes such adult and reqular BUT the adult sections are not
available via the category list.

So, if they can do it...
