Hmm, with regard to Kloot, yes the popups and auto installs suck balls and whilst I wouldnt trade with his site that is his business choice.
With regard to Torn, I suspect that you created the hosted galleries as everyone else does these days and hoped that it may attract a few affiliates. Unfortunately, the only webmasters who want hosted galleries are TGP owners, and nowadays it seems that the majority are thumb TGPs, 99% of which skim.
But perhaps the worst thing is that nowhere can I see a license which states the restrictions for the pics on the galleries or a set of terms where the restrictions on thumb TGPs skimming is stated. Considering that every other sponsor that offers hosted galleries never reports it as theft to a host, is it a fair assumption that yours shouldnt be any different?
Perhaps assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, but I would be very concerned by this as someone that offers both clean and skimming sites.
I would be majorly pissed off if my host just dumped my sites without consulting me which I believe is what may have happened.
