TGP Gallery Cheaters

Sorry to start another thread about it, but I need some feedback.

Yesterday I started working on a desktop application to check my TGP gallery list for redirections and popups, everyday gallery cheaters get more and more clever in their ways of bypassing bots through IP logging, useragent checking, and so on...

The application hits the gallery through a series of proxies and compares the returned results - problem being that from even the desktop it takes entirely too long to scan through 40k+ galleries. So I thought of this..

Distributed computing for checking gallery cheaters. Much like the google toolbar or SETI@Home webmasters would download a small client application for windows, upon daily load it would connect to the main server, download a tiny task list of a few gallery URLs that need checking - check them and return the results. With enough people participating we could build the most extensive, well checked TGP blacklist and hopefully make it not profitable for cheaters to redirect their galleries.

So what do you think, would anyone participate if I created such a system?
