You want something of value to you (linking system for trades), but YOU do not want to pay for it.

Who should pay for all of this exactly? The LinkSpun guy? Just because he is a champ??

Do YOU like working for free? You expect your visitors to pay for the service YOU provide. Last I knew, most people's time was worth something. Which does not even get into the fact of hosting, programming, and other costs associated with keeping a site online in the first place.

Frankly, it reeks of a hobbyist mentality.
