Well one of the things I love about the adult webmaster community is that there are plenty of people in it who once they've hit it big or even medium, they are willing to give back to the community that helped them earn success.
One thing I like about the Hun is he makes it a point to list people on freeservers or people who are just starting out. The first gallery I ever made was listed on The Hun's first page the day after I submitted it. And I know there are a ton of webmasters here who make it a point to help others out, its what makes this community strong in my opinion.
That being said, the mass influx of submissions is creating an obvious problem for everyone. Some people blame the newbies for autosubmitting. My personal belief is that there are tons of experienced cheaters out there using their resources to flood the lists with autosubmissions.
An idea of a network of sites, say 20-30 big ones, who band together and figure out an honest submitter verification process that would guarantee daily links evenly rotated on the front page for $1,000 is not out of line at all. That would be the same as paying 20 Large TGPs a $50 monthly listing fee, a great deal IMHO.
It's almost like an Adult HMO, rather than charge the big bucks for the prime top 10 spots, they will be getting paid less for all spots without having to market, a.k.a. guaranteed income. And of course they could still market the top listings the way they currently do to make even more money.
There would be alot of admin hassle with this plan no doubt, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless. Something needs to be done, and I think it needs to start with an honest, workable way to identify submitters. I wish someone smarter than me could come up with one.
