Years ago I used to look at my stats and see forums sending me hundreds or even thousands of hits a day to my free sites by users linking to them themselves. Nowadays if I go on a forum and link directly to a gallery, even if it has 200 MB (!) of 1 minute clips in it -- all free -- the surfers will come on "What are you kidding? Don't post these little 1 minute clips! SPAM! SPAM!" and then soon I will get banned by the owner [you used ot be welcomed by the forum owners when you did this without going overboard]. They all expect 20 minute videos on rapidshare or megarotic now. You know things are bad when you can't even give the stuff away..... In no way are the linkslists and the TGPs responsible for this debacle anymore. As you hint, if they started going to 10 pictures per site, they would soon lose all their bookmarkers and again, they won't even be able to give the stuff away................

That is sad. These forums should be reported for promoting stolen material though, IMO. I wonder if some sponsors who are being hurt by their stuff being circulated like this would ever sue.
