I'm not 100% sure but I could swear it was boldy I talked too about my system, if not him was someone from here on GFY with a very close name. this was a very rough draft on the trade admin part. I was turned down by the programmer because he said it would take too long to build and he wasn't interested.


So some one wants to build a program like it and they are using yours as an example.. It's not really that big of a deal.. nothing you can do to stop them either unless they steal your code.

I will say you guys came up with a nice system but the idea is nothing original, I set it up on a very small site just to check it out and it's still running.. But IMO the thumb quality is lacking quite a bit on a good prectange of your thumbs.
boldy will be able to answer the top part. thumb quality has been improved. http://www.tiptopthumbs.com

we are deleting the ugly looking ones.

we had an issue with sizes on the big thumbs but that is fixed.

we are trying to come up with a webmaster rating system where webmasters can rate a particular thumb on their control panel this will help us see the ones we missed.

yes we are not the only ones but like your programmer said it was a hard thing to program boldy kicked ass and had the system ready in 30 days along with all of the other 90720348602847 he has on shchedule.

and we keep improving
