Don't you just love this? You decline someone and they go all funny on you... People have strange ways of dealing with disappointments...
There's no contradictions in my rules. Not at all. I don't have a minimum requirement for the number of pictures. It's all in the design of the gallery. And in the quality of the content. A gallery with 10 pics and 5 banners can look a lot better than a gallery with 30 pictures and 2 banners... it's all in the layout...
bestfreehost.com does not have ARS banners on it. It's not advetising console loops on their sites so I see no reason whatsoever in blacklisting 'em.
I think my rules are as simple as can be. Be fair to the visitors. Don't trap 'em in consoles, don't try to lure 'em with blind links and give 'em some quality. Galleries used to be previews... "Want to see more? Sign up here". Quality content costs money, there's ways to tell that to people so you can convert visitors to cash. Tricking 'em is not the way to do that successfully.
Think long-term. People have been shouting my site would be gone soon for 5 years straight now ;-)... So far I'm still here. This industry is depending on visitors to make money, yet a lot of players in this industry seems to have the lowest respect for those visitors. Somehow that seems wrong to me. I care for my visitors. They are what makes my page successful. Advertisers come to sites with many visitors, not the other way around. Sure, the design sucks, very simply layout, I could add a lot of fancy stuff, sure, but that would only get my bandwidth bill up. People don't come to my site to see how well I can design pages. And they don't come to see what kind of programs I write. They come to see some good old adult entertainment. And a few of my visitors sign up for something every now and then. So far this concept worked pretty well, and I'm pretty sure it will continue to do so for a while...
