We take them out because we build sites that are about the solution,
not the tools we use to build them. It's the same reason you won't
find badges for Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL, the ISP, the web designer,
the web developer, the UX designer, the W3C etc. Everybody along the
line has a hand in the site and having the equivalent of movie credits
at the bottom of every page would be distracting and is unnecessary.

Two alternatives:

1. Include a link that links to a page about how the site is put
together. Some people are genuinely interested in this. "Curious about
how this site is built?" that kind of thing.

2. Donate back to the CakePHP community by helping others, working on
docs, test cases or donating cold hard cash (I've tried to do all of
those).

Lastly, there's nothing wrong with keeping the badge on as you have
and by all means, continue to do so. But be careful in deriding the
rest of us for not doing so.

Thanks for your continued support of CakePHP!
