If a gallery/site ends ,php .pl .cgi or similar you know the webmaster is being open and honest about using scripts. If it ends ,html it may be a clean HTML page, or it may be a dishonest webmaster hiding the fact that he is using a script that will (for example) send any bot checks to the page you saw when you OKed it, so your script thinks everything is on the up and up, but "real" surfers get redirected directly to a sponsors join page, or worse, something illegal like a rape site, bestiality, child pornography etc.

In short, most webmasters are honest, but there are a few bastards out there, and they are not stupid enough to use a recognisable extension. Their evil cgi pages will be .html

Also: If you have a partners program and you don't allow cgi generated pages, it is fucking pointless having a "trusted partner" status if you still don't trust them!
