I usually only use the 'mess' decline when there's more than one reason for rejecting the site.
And I'm hoping to get the submitter to come to these forums to ask for assistance. Glad to see you took that advice...the folks here will definitely be able to help

After a quick re-review of your site, the reasons for decline;

The recip table looks kinda oogly (not a decline on its own).
I don't allow page counters.
Your PK recip button isn't linked. Also I highly doubt that PK would list a site with her recip below the enter link. Hoping her button isn't just there to make it appear that the site was submitted to her...that would be a bad thing.
Your mouseovers are incorrect...they should only state the sponsor site url...nothing more.
And finally, there's really no content on your site. Just sponsor links driving the asian cam site.
If you want to push traffic to that site, you'll do much better with some form of free site structure that's acceptable to link lists. Which was exactly why I pointed you to this board

OK, to address each item.

The recip table looks nasty because everyone's got their own unique, non-standard recip of varying sizes and modifying them is typically a no-no. Personally, I prefer graphic links, like you see after you enter, although they do use extra bandwidth.

I missed assigning the link on PK's recip graphic. That is fixed. I put it where I did because (if memory serves) her rules did not specify that it had to be above the Enter button, but did have to be on the page that I submitted to be linked to. I covered my bases and put her links on the index.html and main.html pages.

Which sponsor links are you referring to when you talk about mouseovers?

I'm confused about something...could you explain a bit more about the criteria needed to submit my site to your link list in the "Live Webcams" category? And what would qualify as an "acceptable free site structure"?
