There's a difference between paid partner accounts and listing all hosted galleries.
A paid partner account doesn't guarantee you'll get listed, so the TGP owner will still be able to pick the cleanest galleries and the freshest content.
Plus what does it do to your traffic if you have an open submit form and your bookmarkers click galleries that redirect to dialers and spyware?
