Kinda defensive there aintcha?
From the tone of your post there, I would like to recomend that you pick up a copy of John Ringer's book Looking Out For #1.
Don't let the title fool you. It is a great book and worth way more than the purchase price. A somewhat relevant example from the book for here would where he discusses the three types of individuals you will encounter in a business deal.
1. The person who says that he is out to help you in the deal, but all the time he is looking to screw you for everything he can get. This one is lying to you.
2. The person who says that he is out to help you in the deal, but will end up trying to screw you anyway. This one is lying to himself and thus he is lying to you.
3. The person who freely admits he out to do as well as possible in the deal. This is the rational person, and much more importantly, the honest person.
So which person do you do business with????
The answer is all three. Business is business. The important thing here is to recognize the type of individual you are dealing with and adjust your plans accordingly.
I hope you read this and said, "Well of course, that is so obviously true." That would show that you are a rational person and realize fully that there is really no such thing as a honestly free lunch.
The site management is no differant from anybody else; they are looking to get something from you in return for providing this forum. What do they get from you? Besides the obvious fact that the subject here is of interest to them personally and they enjoy the interaction with people; there is the fact that to maintain a site does cost a certain amount of money. To that end they have advertisers. And advertisers don't just put their money here because they like the guy, or the concept, or the wind is blowing north. They allocate their money based on numbers**. Numbers which are an indicator of possible returns to them. Numbers like site visits, where they went from here, how many posts they made, etc ....in general. how much quality time are the site visitors spending here. (Your post count isn't doing much for the numbers.)
The fact of the matter is that if all you want is pictures; there are an immense amount of SheMale sites out there and a jillion of them are "free" sites in the sense that you can download pictures and video clips without paying a fee. I know! I have over half a million pics from them.
Yes, I came to this site originally for the pics also. And when I first ran into the download limit, I too was disappointed. But, I did what I had to do. I uploaded some stuff and made some posts. I like to think I am a rational person (there are some here who might disagree, ) and I have learned to never expect a free lunch.
In the final analysis, it pretty much always comes down to: IS IT WORTH IT? It applies to the site owner just as much as it applies to you. Is it worth it to you to follow the guidelines set down. I can pretty much guarantee you that they will not change policy just because you, or a hundred like you, bitch about it. Not if they want to keep the site running, they won't.
** I am sure you are familiar with the search engine GOOGLE. While you have never paid Google a cent directly; you use of it does put money in their pocket. Google searches per day reached 293 million a few months ago. Now - - - think about what that means to advertisers. 293 million hits/day over 2 billion hits a week, and a hundred billion in a year. Now there we are talking about some pretty big numbers, and as a result -- BIG, BIG, BIG MONEY!! Numbers matter!!
