link lists and their owners were always pretty much irritating with their rules and requirements to be listed there, all those rules were pretty much adjusted so the traffic goes to link lists, not freesite content.
and you got listed what? basically 2 tgp galleries with warning and intro page which will be viewed only if you are lucky that the surfer doesn't click a recip to a linklist above enter link and as opening a link in new window wasn't allowed your galleries won't be visited.
however those link lists always looked like crap and they were overloaded with banners to make money to the owners, ok there were few which send a chunk of traffic if you were lucky to get listed, but time ran them over with that concept finally.
now in the time of tubes and blogs they are the only ones i am not feeling sorry about that they have to adapt or die, if it worked in the 90s it's better that it doesn't work now since no one normal would like to be stuck in the time 20 years back
