Cut Torn a break, he's not an ass. 
Thumb TGPS that skim are here to stay and a huge part of sponsors making money. Be real! Call it CJ or whatever you want but they send valid customers to the hosted galleries that do buy memberships.

well I know my personal 1st post might have been a bit to strong on the issue and I do believe Thorn has every right in the world to dictate how his content is being used. However the facts I was pointing out is it's general knowledge that TGP's use these kinds of methods to gain traffic and most of us do not conceder it cheating. So I personally think if he didn't want traffic from sites that skim, it should be clearly stated in a TOS. I think most of this drama comes from people that either don't agree with traffic trading or just don't understand it's benefits.
I personally took offense to someone being called a called or implied a cheater simply because I conduct the same sort of traffic trading techniques and I in no way conceder myself a cheater. I typically stay away from pop up's but in all honestly adult webmasters have become far too nice to surfers in not having pop ups on their sites and so on. Pop up's still seem to be a very accepted means of making money in mainstream sites so why not still in adult? Of course I'm not talking pop up hells but 1 pop up or a exit console never hurt anyone IMO.
As far as the toolbar install goes I think koot explained it was from the free host. I tend to believe him being I've seen it happen a few times coming from free hosts or free counters such as porngraph.
