New free site format (version 1.5)

[AndyS]

As I have said in a few other threads I would love to use flash movies too. Less porn given away (unless the surfer is reasonably tech savy and knows how to grab them) plus more bookmarkers which I think with toolbars ‘sharing’ information on the surfers habits can only been seen as a big vote for that page.

There are possible problems with cheaters but why not for trusted submitters?

I think the idea of updating free sites interesting as from the moment anyone starts building them one of the first things said is just build and forget.

If I came up with this idea I'd expect to be bashed around a bit as well. Hell, if anyone knows about taking a bashing because of new rule changes, it's me But like DDave said, this seems to be change for the sake of changing & that's never good.

What would these 1.5 sites do in reality?
1 - eliminate the warning page - something that Free Sites & Link Lists were BUILT on. Way back in time, sites like mine & al4a linked to the same type of sites/pages. Somewhere in there, sites like al4a started to link right to the gallery pages & sites like mine started to link to warning pages only. I am NOT saying that I invented any of this, but somewhere in there, TGP & Link Lists were created. The warning page is a massive portion of the Link List & Free Site foundation.
2 - adding more recips - can anyone tell me the rule of thumb for the number of recip links you can put on a warning page? Anyone? Bueller? Frye? The answer is: no one knows We've all seen warning pages with 6 recips that look like Gov Patterson placed them on the page & we've all seen sites with 20-30 recips that looked just lovely. Do I think that the rule of thumb should be 40+ recips? No. But for fuck sakes, the left hand cell (ie: the 1st coding the SE spider reads) should not be filled with 40+ blind links!

Difficult and not clear access to the picture and video content - one of the reason, why bookmarkers drop our stone age LL and go to the TGP or Tubes.
Come one, let's try to make 10 pages between surfer and content. You think you will maximize your profit and traffic?

I suppose, better do not limit the recips number at all. Just don't mention it in the submit rules. BTW, I have no such limitations.
