I think it is a combination of all of them...... I submit galleries and get them rejected because there is not enough nudity in them........ but why give it all away, my understanding when I first started this was that a gallery was meant as a teaser to get them interested in seeing more so I rarely ever submit a hardcore gallery, but it is getting harder and harder to get anything but hardcore listed.

This was my whole point in building Rude Bitch, so I could post my own "not so hardcore" galleries and everyone elses.... I will come closer to putting the softer ones closer to the top.... unless they have a link to me of course, that part is only fair. But I will list them even if there is no nudity at all...... ok well this isn't getting ME anywhere because everyone else is giving away so much more than me for free so they go there, which in turn hurts me........ and others like me... I say me as an in general term... not me in particular.

Ok, so I thought well ok..... this is not working so well so I am trying something totally different........ I started a links site that ONLY lists AVS sites, while it is still new, it will grow I hope and I think this will give the webmasters a better chance at a sale.... ok at least I am hoping. LOL

CHEATERS!!!! That is killing us all....... Of 139 links submitted to me 2 days ago, I deleted 80 for breaking the very few simple rules I have..... so I kinda get the feel of why so many tgps have such harsh rules.... the submitters see few rules so they see it as a field day and can get by with murder.. or just short of.

Then we have the surfers who are cheaters....... they signup and get in, download the entire damn sites and then cancel the membership... why keep it or pay for it? They have the entire site on their damn harddrives within minutes so why pay for it? And all the chargebacks start making problems with the billing companies causing them to be more strict........

It's a neverending chain of events and I could go on for days.... but we all know where it goes....... it is a snowball effect and we all as webmasters are hurting because of it, and I don't think it is any ONE thing, I honestly think it is a chain of events........

COMPETITION AND GREED play huge parts in this too, I honestly believe that... we see a little money, so we want more and more and more..... so we resort to things that aren't exactly in our own best interest just to make more and more money and in the long run it only hurts us. Oh sure we make more right now... but what about down the road?

Ok, I will quit for now. I probably don't know what I am talking about any damn way. lol
