First of all, get a clue about how things work on this board. Why do you think these contest threads get so many views? When a designer is posting an entry, he is also advertising his design skills. Each and every contest I've been into, got me additional projects from many webmasters, not to mention this contest:

that got me a 1 year exclusive contract with SapphicCash.
This is from a designer's pov. As for the webmasters, do you really think they have the time to go over hundreds of online portfolios? Not to mention all the dead links from a resource site, as many designers are no longer in the business or they are inhouse somewhere, therefore not available.
So that policy is not working for this board, sorry, you should take it elsewhere.
