We have also heard the arguments about paysite programs having shaving systems, cookiecutter sites etc. since 1998... lets just say this business runs in circles, however once in a while we have a chance to make it better, because of new technology, ideas or situations. This is one of those times - the hosted galleries, paid spots etc. will and have changed business, now we just need to keep making it better :-)

Hosted galleries are new in most paysite programs - many programs having cookiecutter sites will mostly like also have cookiecutter galleries... but just as the TGP business is evolving then the paysite business is also evolving with more focus on making $$$ by providing quality - sure cookiecutter sites will still be here, however just as TGP who do not add hosted galleries, or sell their gallery spots, then they will miss opportunity.

When I talk about TGPs, then I´m not thinking about anyone in particular... like I said in a previous post, then there are different demographics at the TGPs, and I also see more and more tgp owners becomming business people or working with business people in making the TGP concept better. The evolution has begun.

I think its important that we understand that this is not a TGP2 movement, where you have to follow certain rules. This is business, and like you said, then money talks - why else would all major TGPs sell their gallery spots? And this is just the beginning, soon they will be 100% hosted galleries and gallery spots, and after that, when they want more money, then they will start optimizing their sites/concepts working with the advertisers, etc. etc.

Oprano is a no bullshit zone, with no bullshit people, and no bullshit business... you do not need to prove anything else
