There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. :jasun:

that being said, a partner account for a TGP means that you've proven yourself to be a worthwhile poster, a trustworthy person and have earned the right to have your posts go directly into the listings without having to be reviewed by the Site Administrator.

some sites will only allowe their TGPs to be posted by partners, some give better placement.

To get partnerships, just ask the admins for them and post here or on a few other boards. You'll be expected to show your galleries, and show that you understand and will respect and follow the rules for individual TGPs.
