Thanks to all the dumb ass gallery submitter who helped my site grow, If you want to get listed now, you have to pay up.
I could be wrong yea know ;)

Ray, you're bit off on that. Something more along the lines of this would be accurate:
1. spend five years and a half years building up a site and a good bookmark audience
2. add some very basic TGP functionality to said site and list hosted galleries for sponsor programs.
3. spend even more design hours and hire a guy to run a full-fledged TGP and give away shit-tons of great CJ traffic (better than TGP traffic any day of the week)
4. meet the guys from RemoteThumbs.com who show you how you can not have to pay that guy to run the TGP sections, have better functionality than before so your surfers will be happier, and actually make money of that traffic that you spent all that time building.
5. convert one of your sites into a TGP only, adding even more traffic to your TGP sections
6. Finally, sell spots that you've been selling ALL along for the same price you were before even though there is now more traffic.
Could be wrong, but sounds like good business and staying true to our customers to me.
