I do have a sneaking suspicion that I'm one of only a handful of people who wasn't initially attracted to TFP via the TB. I can personally take it or leave it, but I certainly cannot deny the importance it plays in how often TFP is used or found.
What does it mean to me? It's an area I rarely use on TFP. I happen to think it cheapens the community, but that's just a personal opinion.
Do I think it should stay? Yes. For better or worse, the relationship between traffic and the availability of pornography are directly proportional and I doubt it's coincidence. Unless the goal is to thin the herd here on TFP, it obviously should stay until something just as viscerally stimulating replaces it. I can't think of anything as viscerally stimulating as pornography, so here we are.
We can always supplement the pornography in a search for alternate lures, but getting rid of the porn would mean we would be a few people in a big room. Like Montana.
