Are you saying that porn programmers hired to work on teen-oriented web sites might accidentally go Tyler Durden on you and do a "changeover" inside your flash

  Not at all. The worry is that if you try to partner with big entertainment properties like Disney or WB and they find out you have a porn programmer on staff, they may nix the deal. Because you can bet that some gossip rag like Valleywag will eventually run a story like "Is Disney sponsoring porn?" all about how a company that Disney does business with has some lead developer whose side project is a porn site. Elsewhere on the thread I say that reasonable people "decay" relationships by social distance. Well, tabloids are not reasonable people. IIRC we had an issue with this at FictionAlley. We had a sister site called RestrictedSection.org that was for NC-17 HP fanfiction. It was a separate organization but had many of the same people involved, and we'd help each other with technical stuff and such. When FA got Warner Brother's blessing, part of the condition was that there would never be anything more than R-rated on the site, and we needed a warning for anything more than PG-13. And concurrent with that, a wall went up between FA and RS.org - you had to pick one to be involved in, and we didn't help each other out so much any more. WB actually had a great relationship with FA but a somewhat antagonistic one with RS.org.
