I definately think it's time to put up an application page for partners for my two lists, but I'm not ready to close open submissions quite yet on either site, but I am doing a lot of banning lately, mostly at Earl's. Earl doesn't have any partner submitters yet because I haven't updated the script for it's facilitation. Wives has partners and they make up the bulk of the submissions there. (Very few submittors seem to realize that Wives now prefers free sites over galleries. That happens, I suppose, when you take a TGP and decide one day to call it a link list.
)
My plan is to share a partner database between the two lists so that if someone is a partner at Wives, they'll automatically have partner status as Earl's. Should be a good deal for the submitters. Now, I just have to motivate myself to make the changes. Admittedly, the changes would have to be easier than continuously muddling my way through a big backlog of shit.
