Theres a good reason most TGP's are circlejerks. The money is in trading deadbeats for traffic, not keeping them. The only good thing about TheHun is webmasters who copy his business model usually go broke.
Just ask some of the big circlejerk webmasters. I'll bet lots of them started with a really nice TGP. They switched to circlejerks because they got fedup with not making money.
Something new webmasters just dont seem to be able to get through their heads is you dont make anything from surfers clicking on your movies or pics, you only make money when they click your ads.
So go ahaed and and make a nice clean TGP, and by all means dont clutter it up with annoying adds. the sooner you go broke, the better for the rest of us.

I think if you were correct, TGP2s would have taken off much better than it did - blaming TheHun for lower payouts and cheating sponsors is like blaming the son for his father's sins. If TheHun was ruining the industry - people wouldn't be killing themselves to be listed, sponsors/advertisers wouldn't be paying to get a top listing.
Unlike other sites, TheHun deals with cheaters his own way - he doesn't penalize every submitter by shutting down submissions to the general webmaster population.
The advantages for him to do that are more than having to deal with DOS attacks every few months (or whatever they do to bring his server to a halt). Doesn't have to deal with people try to cheat - michel would have less galleries to go through - basically it would simply their life and they could ask for a higher price for the top listings. They don't do that - if they would - there would be a heck of alot more 'SHAVING' and lower payouts due to higher advertising costs.
ok.....now start the bashing cuz I'm off to bed. Notte :-)
