Worried about my friend's TGP idea....
 

OK so my good friend tells me tonight he has this idea to make a program that harvests galleries from every TGP and he wants to start his own site that has all the galleries with no % sent to trades, and that will be his "thing" or whatever.

He plans to fuel the traffic with chat room spamming.

Am I right to tell him that TGP owners are going to try to hunt his ass down for grabbing their galleries? Isn't this a bad idea?

i would be more concerned about the spamming issue myself lol

Well he says he can do it legally in chat rooms and shit

The spamming is the problem. He's just losing cash if he's not using his own hosted galleries.

how many people in a chatroom would actually click on spammed urls

lots, i dont think its illegal, but the host doesnt appreciate the complaints.

how stupid

This is an all-around bad idea

VEry |Very bad idea dude.

Most TGP's use hosted galleries from sponsers so he's just fucking himself!

Lots of tgp's harvest galleries - mostly the million category ones :2 cents:

tell your "friend" lol hes a moron :)

I don't understand why someone would care if you linked to their galleries?

They are advertisements after all.

Unless he plans to recreate them with their content & his ads... in which case he's stealing content, not galleries & that has it's own reprecussions.

This is the worst thing

How much traffic does he think he's gunna get by spamming chat rooms?:1orglaugh

What I fail to see here, is what good would his idea do? Is he planning on simply selling the traffic or what?

If the gallerie links are run through a script and there fore are not plain vivibla in the source code then he has no much chance to harvest the any way LOL
