Purge away Oli,
IMO, the people who get exposed to these galleries and the shit that comes with them are GD visitors and if they get pissed off they will move away from GD (They don't really notice/care who is the uploader/imagehost and all that)
There is nothing worse than having to click twice to get an image, have 3-4 popunders and then go through that again on the next image... Fuck that shit!
And I don't see how you would be pissing off the uploaders. You are blacklisting these hosts anyway as you said so they are already pissed off... And good riddance
Purge... Kill... Delete!
To purge or not to purge ?
Re: To purge or not to purge ?
I vote YES!
These image hosts have a shitload of pop-ups and banners.
Or simply they are not user friendly.
I wanted to suggest this before, but now its the right time to do this - how about of pre-approved hosts only?
Like some forums have a restriction on file hosts that can be used, gallery-dump can do the same with image hosts.
Every image host which is not allowed - is banned.
This will make more comfort to the surfers.

Re: To purge or not to purge ?
I'm kinda glad we're sharing the same opinion on this topic.
Allright, no objections I had failed to find, cleanup DONE.
9955 entries removed, after a last-minute addition of a new banned domain
I'm not in favour of an "only allowed domains" approach, it would exclude future image hosts I haven't heard of even though they are good, it would exclude personal websites, it would exclude patterns like "tumblr.com" present in lots of image names (or it would trigger nightmarish "allow tumblr.com but don't count it as a domain" situations).
Uploaders are free and, for the most of them, reasonable folks. Let's keep the website welcoming and open
Edit: besides, you can never know when an old formerly reliable image host turns bad, check what imagetiger is now doing: http://www.gallery-dump.com/images/ffs-imgtiger-org.jpg
*
EDIT2: while we were at it, I ran a second round of removals.
Every website that was banned from gallery-dump, and still noted as such, was added to a long to-remove list.
A seven-minutes long mysql query later, using 172 ' OR ' statements, spanning across ten years of recordings, we ended with 15592 less galleries on gallery-dump.
And a site hopefully less annoying to browse, even for old entries

Re: To purge or not to purge ?
I would totally support this Oliver.
As a consumer and provider of galleries, those galleries are fucking annoying. I think it would make this website a better place!
