    What was the downfall of the Pic Post?

    Sometime inbetween pic posts and tgps I took a break and missed how they lost popularity and tgps took over and have dominated.

    Now it appears to be thumb sites.

    A combination of greed and natural progress. If some guy has a site with links to single pics, another has one with links to galleries with 16 pics, and a third has a site with nice thumbnail previews of galleries then the latter will score the most surfer points.

        The product lifecycle is being extended though in the form of rating sites (like that one of yours that you'll offering me a link exchange with shortly he he).

          Kristian hit the nail on the head. It came down to webmasters wanting to have the biggest and the best for it's surfers.

            A little off topic but... what would be the downfall of TGP? Since Picpost and CJ has waned in popularity (at least in their classic/standard forms), what trends would need to arise that would mark the decline of TGP?

                  Ran pic post for long time, the same pics over and over and over from 1975 being posted, all sites had popups, and crap sites that tried to steal all the traffic,
                  and lots of entries from illegal sites (and pics), and with the new 2257 stuff most said no way am I hosting this crap, and I took that route as well, if i was in Canada or something I might still have it running though, had good bookmark base
