lets face it, the price gotta be high to weed out the newbies and cheaters,,,or it'll just saturate the market,,,


exactly!


I don't mean this the wrong way towards the newbies, but yes, we have great webmaster areas to help each other out, but bottom line is you are still my competition...we may share traffic, consoles, etc. but you are still competition...when I was a chef, I may have been friends with other chef's but my restaurant still had to compete with theirs...do programs like this raise the barrier for entry? yup, but so what....is it fair? who care? is it fair that Wplfgang Puck can afford a better location than I could if I opened my own place? yup, but that's business....he can afford more, so he gets more...this business is the same way...I remember when SE submitters were $5000+++, if you could even find a programmer who'd sell you a copy...

as pointed out in this thread, you could hire a programmer to write the program for you, but most times that ight even cost you more....bottom line is THIS IS A BUSINESS, so you are going to have costs...it's enough that there is free hosting, free content, free this and free that, we don't need free submission software...why? if you can't make a profitable gallery/site by itself, what makes you think you can do it on a mass scale? Automation isn't jackshit if you don't know what you are doing in the first place....

so, learn the nuts and bolts FIRST, make a few bucks, THEn get automated...
