You're clearly talented

You're also trying to reinvent the wheel

The wheel is good - leave it be ;)

The way you are doing it now there isn't any links to your site so why bother? Just link to their gallery now, you may as well.

Another option is to open the gallery in a frame with ALL their ads and full gallery being seen. There is a site that does this now. But stop the hotlinking, it really is the wrong way to get things going.

Jesus H Christ! Next thing you know you'll be taking time off to sleep. If you have time to eat, shit and sleep you are not working hard enough. You're never going to get anywhere in this business if you keep fucking off.

I usually work while I am eating, so yeah, why you got to take time off for this thing ? :D

Keep cool guys! Written stuff can be missunderstood too fast :-/
I'm the same opinion as most webmasters: hotlinking is not ok.
BUT: CJ is not simply hotlinking the pictures.. I took a look at the gallery from his last post and I must say that he just redesigned the galleries and gave it a personal touch. from what I can see he does not try to hide the source of the galleries at all.
The "first version" of his gallery-script did not have enough sponsor's info on it.. but he did take your advice..

he also is a pretty new member and I think its always harder for new members to take harsh criticism

lets all stay friends :-) we're supposed to be a community.. right?
