Warningpages.com as exit link

Well, I think it's ok if they disable the back button since, normally, those people who press the exit link are not allowed to see porn, and the majority who press those links are old ladies and children. There is nothing wrong.

Hmmm...I'd have to disagree with that logic.

I'd bet that most of the clicks to exit links are curious adult male surfers...just to see what's there. But, even if you are in fact correct...I don't like anyone I link to trapping the surfer by disabling the back button. Especially when that trap was put in place after I put up their link. And the link was supposed to be to a surfer friendly non-adult page. No matter how you slice it...trapping the surfer by disabling the back button is nowhere near surfer friendly.

Further, again assuming you are correct about who is clicking the link...those surfers wouldn't use the back button to return to porn anyway. So, there's absolutely no reason to disable that back button other than to trap the traffic...not cool at all with me.

I agree with Mr Yum.
What if the surfer is spending some time on a linklist going through the freesites and clicks on an exit link out of curiousity? Couldn't he make a "HEY THAT LINKLIST LINKS TO NASTY STUFF" association and possibly not come back?

I would tend to agree with you in this MrYum. I know i'm curious about where a link can take me and will sometimes click one to see whats there just in case i end up somewhere interesting.
Thing is when i do that and i do get bitten, i never go back to give the site a second chance.
I will be taking warning pages down and i'm looking for something better as we speak.

The last thing i want is to piss off the people coming to my site with something like this. I want them coming back time and time again so i try to keep my pages as clean as possible.
