new tgp-like script idea

what do you guys think about this concept? think itll work or not?
Basically the idea is a cross between a toplist,picpost, and thumb tgp ...

members submit pics just like they do to picposts, except instead of 1-3 pics, its 4-6. The pics show up similarly to in a thumb TGP: either it can have all the pics with the site hardlink above them on the main page, or it can be only 1 thumb from the series on the mainpage (like a thumb tgp) and then under the pic clicked to from the main page is a list of the other pics with links to their pages.

The main difference is this: the order the galleries is shown is done like this- based on how much traffic is sent by submitter sites (since the last update), each submitter site is assigned a ranking (something along the lines of # of visitors x # of pic pages each visitor looked at, for productivity). then this ranking is applied to each pic set submitted. The ranking is modified for each pic set based on the time it was submitted (for example, if a gallery was submitted and approved today, the ranking is divided by one, if it was yesterday, its divided by 2, etc) ... then based off these rankings the gallery list shows the top 50 sets, or something along those lines, and then links to next 50 and so on.
The idea is that its basically a picpost and a toplist but has a little more pics to make it more like a tgp, and solves the problems of not getting traffic to picposts.

So, think this will work? I'm considering doing it with a domain I have that I havent gotten to do anything with (pics-now.com)
