Given thehun gets 3M-4M a day and world sex gets 2M+ a day and they are extremely plain sites should tell you all you need to know...
This biz is about making the most money from the surfers, not making pretty sites/pages so you're not "bored".

I've been doing this for almost 4 years. There's so many do's and don'ts.
I know all about them. I don't care. I want quality. So I want to make quality galleries.
So far, nobody has given any GOOD reasons why this isn't possible in most submission script while it's not some big ass coding problem or anything.
As far as I'm corcerned, a few years ago big graphical design weren't made for 2 reasons:
1. the ones you mentioned
2. bandwidth. So galleries had be kept simple as well. As time progressed people stuck to the old straight thumbs. Submission scripts went along with it. Image maps just weren't used.
Since then we've come a long way, bandwidth has increased a lot. I personally think neither reasons have to be an issue anymore in these times.
Ofcourse, you'll have to make a good gallery that isn't too crowded.
