In light of 2257 and using sponsor hosted galleries...

[MadMax]

My submissions are not down, and I will never approve any site that's just a couple front pages for FHGs. I've seen way too many FHGs redirect with no warning. I won't even list HFS that are a couple front pages for FHGs because they invariably look like crap and have no natural flow to them. In any case, I don't want to start hearing "but the sponsor changed the pages I was linking to" when submitted sites start changing.

Hello Madmax.

I understand the redirect problem with hosted galleries, but that could be solved with an advanced link checking bot, if they can crawl through the entire freesite. As far as them looking like crap, i beg to differ, as you could match up the colors to make it seemless.

But, you make good points.
