Yahoo recently laid off 12% of their workforce!

Yahoo's stock price has dropped to just 1/10th of what it was a year ago!

We must Spread the Word!

Yahoo is facing a mountain of problems already, they certainly don't need to make this another one! Here are just a few of the many ways that this action will negatively affect Yahoo:

• The only reason Yahoo has achieved such great success is because they have embraced the internet in all of it's facets. They certainly couldn't have & still can't afford to exclude a major segment of their audience. They are everything to everyone, and it is this unbiased nature that has made them great. Users themselves don't have to enjoy every area of Yahoo. Gardening people find gardening, sports people find sports, and porn people find porn. A conflict only arises if the user creates one. Yahoo's decision won't prevent the growth of the Adult internet, it will just exclude them from the income it provides(banner impressions & sale commisions).

• Yahoo's loss of revenue and visitors will expand far beyond that which is anticipated by just looking at the bottom line from the adult products. First of all, users of these products certainly use other areas of Yahoo. However, if they can't find EVERYTHING they want at Yahoo, then chances are, they will search out a site where they can find EVERYTHING. What's more, the hits created by the Adult Clubs themselves fail to take into account the huge number of hits they drive to other Yahoo products like Yahoo Briefcases, Yahoo Photos, and Geocities.

• All Yahoo Clubs will be infiltrated by adult material. Everyone, regardless of their interest, needs some kind of outlet for that interest. Until now, adult entertainment enthusiasts have been able to safely express themselves without affecting other users. Let me stress this point, the adult content hasn't affected or hurt ANYONE that hasn't made a choice to look at it! Without this outlet, the rest of Yahoo will be flooded with adult content. Instead of being commended for removing adult content, Yahoo will be criticized for placing it in the hands of minors. Undoubtedly, this will result in endless lawsuits and persecution. Ultimately, Yahoo's image will be forever tarnished!

• Let's not forget the backlash that Yahoo will receive from members and especially founders of Adult Clubs. Trust me, I have read enough club messages to know that we aren't going to let these clubs go without a fight. A fight that will continue even more intensely if Yahoo decides to delete the clubs! Enough people are behind the cause that we'll dwarf that measly 100,000 users that complainded about the adult material.
