WOW -
There is a lot to comment on here and I forgot half of it in the time it took to type this... partially cuz I am shocked to see xTc in here.
Seriously tho, I agree 100% with x and with Martin.
I also will say that I could care less about newbies in this biz. They will always be there and so will the big tgp's. The newbies may make the 50 pic gallery with one banner and the hun will always list it... BUT.. those are usually stolen playboy pics with a banner to am pages. That kind of an approach will never hurt my business.
TGP2 was a good idea but it's also newbie saturated and therefore destined to bomb. It was over before it started.
Anyone who knows me knows that I run several tgp's and list ONLY my own galleries. I decide who these sites trade with. I decide how and who I promote. I basically have my own mini internet. Take the morons out of the equation.
this post is already too long so I'll shut up...... but I have so much more to say...
