When I was looking around the site, it started to open additional ad pages on it's own, the same way spam or porn sites do. I closed all pages and left. I don't mind a page with some ads on it, but any site that aggressively tries to open additional pages for advertisement is not appreciated and I avoid.

Sorry you feel this way, I was trying to really start a great association here, but thank you for the feed back, by the way it currently has 4,321 members, gathered from local spots I decided to take it to a national level with sponsorship money. I apologize for the mis conception. The full contact information is on the site. Thank you for the feed back again!

None of the states that were listed that I checked showed any members yet they try to make you think they have a history of paying money to people in contests. They promise prizes of $150,000.00! It's just my opinion but I would stay away. Still, it's been slow here so take a look and voice your opinion and maybe we can warn away some other unsuspecting photographers.
