TGP2 might be a good idea and is worth trying.

Automatic exclusion of free hosts is a bad idea.

Hundreds of thousands of webmasters and probably millions of sites are hosted by free hosts these days and that counts for a sizable chunk of the worlds bandwidth consumption - thats free bandwidth to the webmasters. Making money from tgp traffic has never been easy and free hosts make it easier for the webmaster. Banning them may help exodus out of its financial quagmire (or not) but I don't see anyone else benefitting. Many experienced webmasters use free hosts alongside their paid hosts - it makes sense as bandwidth costs and you can't be sure that you'll make any sales from the 100,000+ hits you get from tgp's in a day but you can be sure it will cost you an arm & a leg. Very few individual webmasters have the buying power to get affordable bandwidth - free hosts can and do so its easier for us to absorb the costs and make some money. For the webmaster its a win win situation - costs nothing and any sale is a bonus! For the tgp its also good - more better quality galleries will be posted and linked to more high traffic sites which means more surfers and more money.

One of the biggest gripes I hear (and I share) from webmasters about tgp's is their rules - they all have these silly rules designed to boost their ego's and income while minimizing webmaster income. Nobody likes too many rules and webmasters will just go elsewhere - there is ALWAYS an elsewhere to go to.

As has been said there are people who will try to screw tgps and hosts and sponsors any way they can - doesn't matter where they host. I mean there are loads of HIGHLY illegal sites hosted by commercial hosts/isps *somewhere* and with their own domains - you think they care about rules? You think they wont screw you for an extra dollar just because they pay for hosting?

Inclusion of a gallery, in my opinion, should only be based on QUALITY of the gallery as long as the fundamental (sensible) tgp2 rules are also adhered to.

*Disclaimer*
I run and host a load of free hosts so I may be biased..
