Your script is just one of a handful of steps that lazy & glory seeking "webmasters" can use to pump out & submit volumes of galleries in a very short time frame.
I'm sure the script is wonderful & helpful in the right hands, but then again, so are auto submitters, free hosts, counters, consoles, etc

I think we agree too. I directed my reply primarily to you because I wanted to address the opinions you presented, even though you are not being the actual purveyor thereof, and wanted to minimize the amount of offense taken as a result of my post.
Both my experience and Doctor Sticky's experience with adult webmasters has consistently indicated that they are
lazy. Incredibly, mind-bogglingly lazy, with few exceptions. I think that's why they get into adult; it's the most money for the least work. Of course, we have not frequented these forums, and it's quite possible that this is where the non-lazy adult webmasters hang out. If that's the case, maybe we should spend some more time here! But I know people who create sites and then hire someone else to do the 1 hour of work per day necessary to run it.
This is why we don't think this script will ruin the industry. If there is a webmaster who works his ass off to build as many galleries as he can and submit them to dozens of sites, then that guy is motivated enough to learn a programming language and write his own script to automate it. In fact, the few non-lazy webmasters I've met are the ones that are least interested in our script because they already built the tools that do exactly what they need. And a lazy webmaster is just looking for the easiest way to make the bare minimum number of galleries that his visitors expect. He's not going to buy the script so that his 2 hours per day are more productive -- he's going to buy it to turn 2 hours into 30 minutes. I don't believe that any of our customers have built more than a few galleries per day and I don't expect that to change.

Even I'm not that lazy, all I need to do is upload them while I go pee. I think it's is ripe for abuse, and the more we can reduce that, the better off we are as an industry. It's simple IMHO, and could not be more clear cut.

See above. I appreciate your opinion and I'm glad we can have a civil discussion. Unfortunately we see the same people two different ways, and I believe there are good reasons for the feature, so I'm not sure we'll see eye to eye.

If you
do see someone using content from your FHGs without authorization in their own template, and you think Arylia might have been used, you can contact us and we will give him the same threat you will: stop violating our terms or lose your license.
I will PM you with more information about this.
