lax rules or is it just me?

I'm hoping the whole index, mainpage, gallery1, gallery2, structure will eventually bite the dust. It's a fairly new thing and it stifles creativity.
Rules about blind links, minimum content, and limited ads per page are reasonable. Nobody wants to piss off the surfer. But the present format of free sites is boring to build, which makes me think we just might be boring the surfer too.
Think about it, a surfer hits an index page with the standard warning they see everywhere, exactly 3 ads and a bunch of sales text. They must know, right from that point, that they are exactly 2 clicks away from the good stuff, so they ho-hum through the intro and grab a free wank.
I'm thinking the smarter surfers just go to the hun and buy nothing there either, it saves them 2 clicks
I'm thinking if you could throw something freaky at them on the index page you might at least get them thinking WTF? Then they might pay more attention to what you're trying to sell, instead of what you're giving away.

The present rigid free site regime stifles that, and I truly miss the wild west days when rules were far less defined. I know I made a fuck of a lot more money then.
