I always find it funny how people expect to be posted immediatly if they have good galleries on Big TGPs. Trust is something that is earned over time. Many big TGPs pay in excess of $10,000/month for bandwidth alone, that's a lot of money to risk on someone demanding that their gallery be placed without knowing who that person is. If a person ads consoles, thumbs that lead to paysites and other crap like that it hurts the TGPs business. There is no way of knowing if a person will do that except for building a trusting relationship over time. Big TGPs also work 7 days a week, 365 days a year and why would they give special treatment to someone who only casually submits a gallery or two to them?

The real exception to this is thehun - who is in my opinion the defination of a 'nice guy' He really makes an extrodorany effort to post new people's galleries. But the time this costs him is ENORMOUS.

Personally I find most BIG TGPs are INCREDIBLY tolerent and extremely helpful to new submitters. Two examples you people have quoted are worldsex and Book-mark. Both of these guys risk many many thousands of dollars every month on bandwidth to ensure clean sites that their regular surfers will enjoy and COME BACK TO. They both also work huge hours, 7 days a week reviewing galleries to ensure quality controll. And they respect submitters who respect them. You have to understand that these guys are now getting in excess of 1500 submissions a day and most only post about 100. And they both give new submitters a chance on a regular basis when they can see that that submitter looks like someone who is serious about this business. Maybe not instantly but they do.

A word about free hosts. The term 'free' is a bit deceptive. The ads they have on them pay for the bandwidth and make a profit for the 'free' host owner. When you use a 'free' host ask yourself this question - Why am I letting this guy make money from me? If I did the hosting myself I'd make the money the free host does + my regular profit. And more TGPs will respect me casue I'm now more professional paying my own way. ALso if you host your galleries yourself there is very little chance of consoles, pop-ups, misloads, and other crap that can get you banned on TGPs. You build yourself a solid reputation and you take more care in what you are doing since you have a much greater stake in it.
