Pageviews are plenty enough for GFY crew. I don't like sponsors/boards getting too uppity. I see this a lot on the boards, yet have never experienced it first hand from any sponsor I've used. I will never use a sponsor that treats me like they are doing me a favor by letting me make them money. Fuck that. They'll have to go bye-bye.

The simple fact is this biz is getting tougher and needs to.
It is because of the free swinging "wild west" days that has lead people to take such drastic measures as to initiate partnership requirements for submissions...or even paid submissions...you will see more and more things like this in the future.
yeah I guess eventually it will be a good ol' boy's network but it won't be something you can't ever break into. But instead of pretending that the barriers to enter this biz won't get any tougher prepare yourself now.
Get to know people, the sponsors, the tgps owners, the gallery submitters whoever you do biz with.
It's amazing how many people you rely on daily just to get biz done...get to know them and you won't have to worry about being shut out.
