The reason why you didn't get a spot is because you weren't the 10th, 15th, 20th etc.... affiliate to signup....sorry about that

THIS might just be your problem right here. It sounds good on paper, but I can tell you from experience when you run a contest where the # of the posts, signup or whatever is what it is based on, you are going to run into a problem of everyone waiting on someone else to signup so THEY can be the 10th, 15th or whatever. It's like running a contest on the radio where the 10th caller wins, people are going to give it a few minutes til they think 9 others have joined up with you.
I didn't see your contest, I've been sick as hell for almost a week.... but just from experience, I have seen this happen so many times. Right here on GFY, I have seen people say "The 100th person to post in this thread will win a new car" (ok not exactly that, but you get my meaning), and you are going to have 500 people waiting for 99 to post.... LOL
I whole heartedly agree with you on the spoiled affiliates though, when I started out, I did everything by hand and there wasn't such a thing as free galleries, content and so on, or if it was, it was extremely rare cases. Now, I spend so much time making galleries for affiliates, ad materials, gathering content and so on, that I barely have the time in the day to submit my OWN galleries and such. But like roly says, it's supply and demand and if we Sponsors don't want to get left behind, we have to keep up. I don't mind, I have always been helpful to my affiliates, but it does get worse everyday.....
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind working for my affiliates, it's the ones I jump thru hoops for, gathering everything they want/need and then they never even use it, THAT gets a bit frustrating.
