Hey x8008, I just wanted to let you know that I am a fairly respected faucet owner ( CoinPrizes.com has never gone dry in 6 months+ and over 0.5 BTC given away ), and was told the exact same thing as you when I tried to start a new faucet using an older custom script.
What did I do? I gladly deleted the custom script and downloaded the official Microwallet faucet. Why? Because I wanted to be included on LandofBitcoin so I did what I needed to do. It's his service, and he knows more about what his users want and how to make his site run better.
It sucks I spent 2 days customizing the other faucet script, but I am happy now with the traffic I am receiving. Comprende?
Land of Bitcoin has every right to be demanding; his service is free and he knows his traffic. He knows that putting crappy faucets on the list will result in people being pissed off and dropping off of his list. He has every right to protect his interests and if you want his traffic, then you'll understand that by doing the right thing, you will not only be helping him generate traffic, but you will be helping yourself get more traffic.
After reading this thread I immediately went and upped my faucet payouts, which I have been smoothly running for about 9 months now. You have to understand that the traffic is our income. If you fuck the users, they will learn that there is nothing good about bitcoins, and go away. How does this help with the adoption of the currency? We don't need any more cowboys with their dicks swinging in the wind.
