Alpha Sky... I understand where you're coming from and somewhat agree with you on just providing a tease for the surfers and yes perhaps less free content could be a way to go. However there are many flaws with your requests and I'm sure these flaws are because of your lack of experience. I'll try my best to explain a few of them...
1st... Your new rule on 4fhgs is fine, but don't make it retro on webmasters who have already worked to get you out there, to get SE results and especially for those who submit galleries.
Removing content that is already live and has been live for a period of time is not easy, it's also stupid. Why would I want to remove content that has already been spidered and listed on SE's? That hurts my rankings if the content is no longer there and is also less traffic to your site(s)
Only using your holiday content goes back to the same point. Sure, no one is searching for xmas twins in August, but I can say with reasonable confidence that xmas will come back around this year again, and most likely even the next. And wouldn't it be great to already have a jump on those rankings with content that has been in place
For those who submit galleries, they know the game a lot better then you do and I suggest you hit up some TGP/MGP sites and check out the rules. Specifically the ones regarding re-directing of traffic. To save you a few moments, I'll tell you now that most sites will simply just blacklist the submitter and his sites. This is so common of a rule, that the ability to do this is built into pretty much every TGP script available.
You have been given so much FREE solid advice since you first started yet you choose to act like you know better then those who have done this for years. Please read your threads again, ignore the shit talking and pay attention to some of the advice you have been offered. Of course it's your business at the end of the day and you are free to run it as you wish, but I promise it wont hurt to listen and try to integrate some suggestions into your business plan
