Hi, somebody of the team who is maintaining this site should check *urgently* the links on http://drupal.org/cases
This is a VERY important part of the docs - this is where you send people to learn something about drupal and to see, how other sites are using drupal. Readers of these pages often are involved in decisions about spending money on a project backed by drupal. Readers of these pages want to see great sites with brilliant features.
What they NOT want to see are blank pages, servers that are offline, sites that have been "spammed" ("so drupal has no feature to prevent spamming?") and sites, that are driven by people who are apparently not educated enough to configure a webserver.
With these important points in mind now please go to http://drupal.org/cases and check the sites that are presented there!
TOTAL DISASTER!!!
Somebody should check this on a regular basis - if there is a budget, please, please give somebody a few bucks to keep this part of the site up2date, you are shooting yourself here drastically! Believe me: you are loosing interesting new projects here - I just lost a customer right now - he was friendly enough to tell me about the embarassing http://drupal.org/cases page!
Thanks!

The page you are referring to, I don't think was created with the intent on being a comprehensive list.
Why not have your own list of sites to show off drupal ? Or better yet ? have a portfolio of the sites you've built.
IMHO, If I had lost a customer based on a site or two from that page and that page alone? I'd have to question my sales and negotiation skills.

"Those who seek drupal answers should use drupal search!" : )
Too true! Where are the big
Too true! Where are the big names like Sony BMG, MTV etc. on these lists? Thats the sort of names that would convince people to put their money behind a Drupal powered site.

webmaster issue queue
I posted a "issue" report here: http://drupal.org/node/178817
That's a better way to get some action on site problems like this. Use this link: http://drupal.org/project/issues/webmasters
