Submitter domain now an attack site

Now that conversions have turned to shit, the submitters have no good reason stick around.

I think for this day and age, and for the fairly small traffic we get back, its just not worth jumping through the hoops anymore. I had a go at freesite submitting again for say 20 or so freesites, and doing a check of the rules, virtually nothing has changed. I did notice it was a little easier to get a freesite approved by many LL's, but still had those who were just nitpicky (I was 2 pixels under the pixel count for one .. seriously .. not approving it was just a prickish move).

Rules for the sake of rules will always come back to bite you, and judging by submits on most ll's submitters have largely gone to other things. I can see the value of ll submitting, but the whole ll model needs to reinvent itself first. That being said I think I will still submit from time to time just for the SE benefit

Yeah mate ... i should have been more specific though. Many ll's ask for XXXX number of pixels when you add the length and width of a pic.

happened with me too I get drunk with greenguy, and weeks later or whenever pricked me of 1 sec on video

thats why I quit building when I was happy wity my income and went to galls only some years later, I guess I shouldnt have taken it personal

but taking it nonpersonal, GG and MML was prolly the best at reviewing than anyone, and back then traffic was different then, so you had to have tough rules, and hardly anyone bothered changing there rules page to - todays GIG LOL

just wanted to mention.....andyr was a regularly active member on ANS, i would have to imagine that he would not have meant to let that happen and might be recovering it soon. maybe something is wrong with him im not sure if he was the one there that mentioned having some kind of a medical condition coming on. just thought it might be worth some kind of mention as he was always helpful and im sure he has many sites.

I have no problem with him and as UW and Plateman said his sites were good and I agree with that but the domain had become an attack site and that's the reason I told people about it. I couldn't leave links up on my site that could affect people coming to my pages without risking losing them and that I can't afford. That's the only reason I started this thread, to let people know the site was down and that it was an issue. If the domain had not become an attack site he would still be listed with me and I'd be happy to have his links live.

no problem, i agree it is worth noting. i also wasnt' thinking about the attack site issue when i wrote that. just fyi. thanks all.
