Trust me, you aren't going to see a huge leap in bandwidth usage if you wake up and improve the quality of your photos to a point that I no longer feel like I'm looking at vintage porn that has been colorized. There is no excuse for grainy photos in a post 9-11 world. None.

Site Design - Why would you employ a hover effect on your links that makes your whole fucking page jiggle? Changing text color during hover is fine, but changing font-size, font-style or font-weight is ugly and goddamn annoying. CUT THAT SHIT OUT!..

I have no comment on the 1st 2 since I don't pay any much attention to the blabber submitters put in the description area, but I'm with you on these 2, especially the 2nd one.

I can't tell you how many times I've been "scared" by text or thumbs that increase when you mose over them & adjust the entire page.

Some submitters are spot-on when it comes to simple, yet decorative, description writing. It's almost as if they take this business seriously and have viewed a link list or two.

On my older, now smaller, link list, I try to use the submitted description since it's not worth my very valuable time to spend too much time fussing around over there. On Perv, where I write 99% of the descriptions, I still like a sensible description to be submitted because I use it to get an idea of what angle the submitter is attempting to market and it gives me something to work from when writing my lengthier marketing prose. (All I ask for is the standard description they use to submit everywhere else.) I'm constantly tweaking things there in an attempt to get everyone's sites seen while getting ad views for myself. I even try to squeeze in a little extra love for my prize submitters when I can, usually in the form of keyworded one-way links to their hubs or blogs or whatever within the descriptions.
