Not any more. I have little call for new gallery templates, as I white label nearly everything. But when I do need a banner or other design, I just go to someone on my designer list that I have already used, who provides could work in a timely manner, and otherwise meets my needs.
I have built up enough over the years that I know I can work with that I don't go outside that circle. Same thing with coders.

thanks for the actual replies! I made this thread yesterday and just remembered. Surprised it is even on the front page!
Fletch and I are still around, still work in adult and have sites, we just don't post much. And the design stuff trickles off of course without the visibility. So not sure if we wanted to try and get back to it or move on. I know people have to be still in need of banners, galleries maybe not so much, but he does such awesome work. I know I am biased as his partner, but really his banners are awesome.
well the site was on reality check network, got hacked, and we just sort of threw it back together with links. lol. get banners made that is. But some recent examples are there. Not even his best work but some.
Well don't want to sound like I am begging for orders or anything, but if anyone needs some banners or galleries and wants a good deal (Fletch has always been very reasonably priced for the quality of work) feel free to hit me up on icq: 618338426 or you can email him directly fletchxxx at gmail.com.
I know there are old clients out there too, we're still here, would love to pump out some banners and galleries. If I can get us some orders, I promise to get him to post. LOL I know you guys miss him.
I see on a Monday it's busier here. I still love this place. It used to be the hot place even on the weekend and Friday nights. Hell every night. Now it seems more work hours, so that's cool. I miss adult stuff. My kid is a toddler now and plays on her own... we've got to get back to this shit. I miss being in the loop.
Banners are still quite important and galleries serve their purpose, but the "market" is much different now. Perhaps it's like selling DVDs. Sure, people buy them, but you need BluRay and digital download as well.
Flash banners seem quite popular, as well as other media rich banners. A lot of mainstream sites I visit now have video banners... you click the little tab to expand the ad and get a demo video of sorts, pretty cool. Possibly an idea for porn? Not sure if I've seen that around.

Very true. However, still, clean and simple always works. The KISS principle.
And yes we never did flash banners, or anything too fancy with the coding. Just graphics. Clean, simple and effective. And priced decent for the service.
Fletch has had regular customers who know their traffic, make money, and know what works... simplicity. If the product/content is good, the banner doesn't need to be flashy. It has to be eye catching and focus on getting the click.
KISS is an acronym for the design principle "Keep it simple, Stupid!".[1] Other variations include "keep it short and simple"[2], "keep it simple AND stupid" or "keep it simple and straightforward".[3] The KISS principle states that simplicity should be a key goal in design, and that unnecessary complexity should be avoided.
"unnecessary complexity" in this case would be ugly ineffective banners that don't pull clicks like Fletch's work. heh
People will always need banners. I know this because I run so many sites now and pretty much almost everyday we make a new banner for one of our projects. Some days I make batches of them all day long.
Banners are the billboards of the internet. And despite the awesome technology these days, nothing works like a big fucking bright ass billboard on the side of the highway. Same with a nice eye catching graphical banner. Don't need anything fancy. Just effective.
