Yeah I think it was when they added the no "surfer scraper" links rule is what they shit listed me since I never changed the way I built. Sometimes old time submitters can get a little leniency sometimes not.
Kind of a shame, the "surfer scraper" links often bring in more sales then my main sponsor link. Guess this is why I just moved on and never tried to do anything.
I actually still get a small amount of traffic from their archives. They do have lots of traffic.
Well rules are rules and everyone has the right to make their own rules, shouldn't be any other way.
I fucking hate making up thumb previews. I've only done it a few times and I keep on asking myself if it was worth it. Since I haven't done them on any of my latest galleries I guess I've decided it isn't. I mean at some point to have to look at your bottom line and ask yourself if you time is better spent doing other types of things to generate traffic.
