OK, so the Metromen TGP is up and running, and I'm pretty happy with the traffic, but I've noticed that most TGPs have a maximum number of thumbs per page, and I can't figure out why they do that.
Well for some they are trying to keep the galleries submitted consistent (I know I do that). My reasoning is to give everyone a chance to get some clicks. (I come from a different time when being fair was the name of the game LOL). At one point I added a maximum simply becuase I had some webmasters submitting pages with 60 thumbnails - half of which were re directs - and I didn't have time to go through each link to make sure it was a pic and not a redirect (This of course was before the edition to Auto Gallery Pro which counts the number of outside links LOL)

Oh, and how many partners do you have? I've only given partner status to a few, and didn't know how many everybody else has.
Honestly, I've only given out a few. Some are offered to friends and GWW members. Others I offer to webmasters who constantly submit, play by the rules and don't use auto submitters. To date on three TGPs I work myself (not cumsoda that's Lee's LOL) - I have only 15 partners across all three. And those are about 3 years old. I may open this up when I get the sites redesigned... but even then it will be to only people I know or see working the site without breaking the rules.

My two cents thrown into the jar
