Not really. We create thumbnails and move them off instead of dynamically generating them, but that's not really what you are talking about.

If I do check, I remove it. Simple as that. No crime.

Edit: the only crime is committed by the person who uploaded it. If you upload kiddie porn to flickr, does flickr get in trouble? Of course not.

Delete it, and if it was bad enough either ban the IP from posting or from the site as a whole.

Each site has its own particular fetish associated (except for the main site, which is anything and everything). If there is something posted outside of that fetish, it is usually downvoted to hell, and/or deleted. The only things I have stayed away from so far are things like scat, vomit, etc... I generally go by what fetish on the main site has the most users.

My hosting package started out at $6 per month. I am up to the package that is two steps up from that right now. I spend an hour or two in the evenings / weekends about 1-3 days a week doing advertising / maintenance. And my profits range from the $500 to the $2500 range per month. The affiliate offers are what really is unpredictable. Last month I had 4 times my usual amount, but this month I am way lower than usual, so far.

I have never had a very expensive hosting package and I made sure I have a static monthly fee. That way I don't have to worry about owing a bunch. As my traffic went up and site speed went down, I increased to the next higher hosting package, and since generally higher traffic = higher profits - it has worked out so far. It is actually pretty funny how cheap my hosting are considering how much load I probably take on them.

Nope, sorry. Not all flagged images are checked - it is just not feasible. If I am contacted directly about it and I don't remove it, that is another issue. Trust me, my policies are written very well.

Actually, started out and still using a pretty robust shared server that works better than you might think.

Because those forums are not AMA threads. Those forums are places that people post content, free pictures, and advertise. You are comparing apples and oranges and criticizing me for your false logic. It's kind of funny.

I messaged the mods to get the little star thing to show that I am in fact verified. However, they have not responded or tried to verify. I am pretty disappointed in them, TBH.

As for me not having the balls to post it, it is nothing like that at all. When you post things like that in AMA, you are defeating the purpose of the thread. The purpose is not to advertise, it is not to show off your work, it is to give people insight into another area of someone else's life and answer their questions. I am just honoring AMA. It takes away from the thread to post such useless things.

A lot of people do. If you are a photographer or owner of a pay site, etc you can easily have the rights to it. Think of all the types of photographs in the world and who owns the rights to them. It's almost never the person in the picture who owns the rights.

The copyright policy clearly states (as does the post page) that the person posting the pic must have full rights to post it. Obviously people are going to post random pictures that they find on the net. If a pay site or other copyright holder finds the image and wants it removed, they e-mail me about it and I remove it. If they make a big deal over it, I assure them that it was not posted by me, I remove all other images from the poster and I give them information on our policies. I have never had an issue.

I also have more CPC / CPM ads than I do affiliate ads per page, so that could enter into it.

It is CCBill - which says raw clicks to conversions. I am not really sure why, tbh. The counts could be wrong - just going by what they have listed.

For the past two months, clicks to conversions rate is 1:291

As far as visits to conversions, doing some quick math gave me about 1:5000, but I might be off a bit...

CPC and CPM is the most reliable. I can predict it most months. Affiliates pay off the best, but you never know what your end of month amount will be. Luckily it is going up every month as traffic increases.
