Would you feel comfortable parking your car on a busy street and leaving it running and unlocked with keys inside?

Yeah, I know TGP is not the best way of monetizing in 2024, so I don't blame authors for not updating the script. Just don't want to lose a part of my own history, so time to move on to whatever else is there available.
Are you running the Mechbunny script now?

I am thinking about setting up a PHP 5.6 system to get it going again. My biggest sites ever were Mechbunny TGPs. The script is an indexing and traffic magnet. The templates were great, so everything was turnkey.

It may be possible to use the tube script to do the same thing, but the work needed to adapt it to photos is prohibitive and slow to scale. It's a real shame that the TGP script couldn't be updated to a newer PHP version.

There are image sites that do huge traffic, and I always found that image viewers were buyers.
