Free scripts, free hosts, ridiculously low priced design. Where will it end?
If people HAD to invest some money to get into this business there would be infinitely fewer newbies and therefore more traffic and money to go around. It's nothing personal against this guy. I'm sure his galleries are fine. Sometimes we all need a little extra $$ and this is a good way to generate that money.

In order for things to get better they have to get worse, and to me, things seem to start getting a bit better. For example, Easypic's $100 a year deal to submit galleries, bigger TGPs will follow that idea, I believe shemp is considering it eventually, that will weed out people...but give these newbies a break, let them make their $35 one signup a month bullshit, so they can just move on...There is still plenty to go around...
