Yes it will increase that, but images in hosted galleries are there compliment the advertising in gallery itself. If you take a away the sales text and advertising in the gallery, you are just left with the pics. (great ones ofcourse, but still ;) )
Hotlinked a hundred at a time, without advertising links, it will not create many signups is my experience.
And what affiliate would post it on boards without his own aff. links? So, if someone wants to post it to some board, as an advertising method, with links and all, we just enable hotlinking for that domain..

Mind you, enabling anti-hotlinking will not stop the images from getting spread. If people really like the content they will simply upload it to a forum that allows uploading or to a freehost. Nothing we can do about it... But I'm not going to make it even more easy then it is already...
