As you can imagine we have to be selective and make sure we have actual webmasters signing up. If not surfers would just hit us up and download all the images. Not exactly what we want happening.
Also running a selective affiliate program is the way of the future. Look at how hard the ftc recently came down on programs allowing spammers to run wild. They sent a clear msg that affiliates programs have to know what their affiliates are up to because they are responsible for their actions.
If you run a search on us you will see there are very few affiliate programs that represent the little guy more thanwe do. We do everything in our power to help everyone out. What other program has a $75/signup day and then provides it's webmasters with all the traffic to make that money? I can't remember one. We had our affiliates submit us their Twistys galleries and the top 15 of those are going to get pounded with traffic from Thumbzilla, Sexape, Bigbreastlovers and Picwarehouse. We also do our best to take the time and help out each and every affiliate. Whether they send us 1 signup a month or 500 a month.
You probably don't know this but we started from scratch. Started up with free sites in 1997 with no money and built our way up the ladder one step at a time never screwing anyone over. Earning our money by working long hard hours. I remember there was one year that we went to bed every night past 7am. All nighters were more than just a regular thing.
I can understand your sticking it to the man attitude. But I really don't think it applies to us.

Points taken. I'm just being a tough sell. I'll probably give you a spin sometime next week. I just wanted to hear something more personal than [i]Sign up to our program- these are our nubmers- he's some pics.[i] See, you're not the only one being selective.
The "special days", I could care less about. I don't have the capacity to push the envelope back one "x" day of the week. When I put myself into something, I give it my everything regardless of circumstance. But I'll try it out of curiousity.
A lot of webmasters regard my point of view as interesting. That much is extorted from my "surfer side", as I said- I am also a client. I've been through every nook there is from Google images, to Limewire, to bukster, to forums, torrents, empornium, alt.binaries and the first programs I signed up to were also the first PaySites I signed up to.
I try to keep the surfer's interest close to heart. I have never pushed anything I don't like, regardless of how much it converts- and I sure as hell don't stop pushing something I like because it had a few shitty months.
