What is the point?

Sounds like another way some Russians are trying to make money of newbies...

But I can't see the point, either (other than them making money - despite the claim "That won't even cover Your expenditure"...)

It looks like the sponsors pay them, and then they pay you a percentage of that at the end of the pay period (which is one month). If you submit a gallery a day, you could make $100 after 1-2 months (yes, it says that!). They will be happy to provide you with gallery templates at $7 a pop (who wants to bet that they're FHG templates with the pics stripped out?). For $10 a month, they will give you a submitter program (that I've never even heard of) so you can submit one gallery a day from one domain (which they assign you). And you're only allowed to submit galleries for the sponsors they list (gee, wonder why).

I can't decide if I'm more amused or angry. I am laughing though

and what's with all the You's and Your's being capped? Looks like some sort of weird s&m marketing technique to make the surfer feel like the "Master". Well it's all anyway.

u'r half right, except for that scepticism

here's what we actually do:
1. host galleries and LLs, providing all needed counters etc
2. allow to download content from our content base (picture sets and movies optimized for posting). Well actually u don't d/l it - u upload it to your domain directly from our base of content and crop thumbs right on the server side. Very handy. We have more than 1000 sets of licensd content + sponsor's content. We also have paid content for advanced users.
3. We provide a domain name - yes. Feel free to host ur own domain though.
4. We sell submitting software for low price
5. We pay directly to webmasters. U can even order payment for july on august 01 and we'll pay you ('urgent payment' for $10 fee) even though we haven't received the money yet from sponsor.
6. We help with EVERYTHING. Credit you with money so that u could buy partner accounts and so on.. damn lot's of things we do

Ooops - looks like I put my foot in my mouth (once again) - but then again: thank your fellow citizens for the reputation russians have in adult.
