Which do you rank as more important?

The ability to keep your own database, a site list, which isn?t
shared with hundreds of others and adding your own partner,
codes or even site types.

or

Regular paid database updates.


A lot of people in the market for submission software wanted a
huge site list and many of the submitter programs got in
competition over their site counts. Many including sites that I
knew were garbage from my experience editing the LinkUp
database. I went for a more customable approach with LinkUp. I
believe this was enjoyed by most users, however I could come
up with a way to bring it closer to the center and make it better.

There was a few suggestions going around about a database
sharing system where users and site owners contribute. I
thought this had the same pitfalls, where webmasters get their
submissions mixed in with those of too many others with poor
quality galleries. However it could be good if it's what people
want.
