You have a *ahem* "Free" TGP submitter and you want a 33/33/33 split with the sponsors and the gallery submitter. Which means the gallery builder gets a 33% cut instead of a 60-70% cut from the sponsor, basically cutting their income in half.
So unless the people who use your system make less than $50 a month off of their galleries, or have incredibly substandard math skills, I don't see how anyone would use your *ahem* "free" submitter over the two I mentioned above.

lenny2 you got it wrong. Currently i put 1 banner on the top of the pages which is mine. The rest of the banner income on the pages is still going to the submitter.
Anyway, i can see why people use my system:
1. Its free to use. Okay one banner on the page, thats it. Anyway i dont see any difference with these so called free-hosts. Fuck with your traffic, and zillions of penispills ads on your page. Still 10000's peeps using free-hosts.
2. I think its a great system to start with, if a newbie and dont want to spend to much money to begin with. If the users are satisfied with my product, they still can buy a monthly subscription, bannerless, $15 a month.
3. We have public submissions, others can post your galleries. Using our scheduler, autoconfirmer (which is at smtp level, no crappy windblows application) and public submitter, people can go on vacation and still submit everyday. Plus there's a recip autoupdater.
4. i'm running 2 month now. And 1500+ subscriptions, so I think there is a reason to use FTS.
Thats my opinion, and i wrote the shit ofcouse
