I sent cardomain emails a couple of times chewing them out. I told them, they were benefitting from all the hard work other people had done, then trying to cash in on it. Which.............. they are.
Sponsors buy advertising space on their web site. Do the people who did all the hard work on the 500,000 or so cars,trucks,bikes get one cent of this money? NOPE!
But cardomain continues to use your photos and mine of our cars to get more advertsing dollars.
Okay. I'll admit using agree cardomain does have a benefit or two for the users.

I originally joined cardomain to link my pics. If I can't link my pics from them anymore, what good is their site? Not allowing people to link from their site just hurts them. Because that's less people going to their site.
Good point. But other sites usually have something to offer that benefits you in return. Forums and clubs have the obvious. Other photo hosting sites (like photobucket) allow you to use them to post your pictures on forums and such. Granted, photobucket doesn't have the nice window dressing like cardomain. So that's where cardomain does have an advantage.

I would describe it as a virtual car show. There are virtual car trophies to be won on ther too. No money to be won, but it won't cost you anything to be on there or enter either. A car show cost you the gas to go there but you don't get re-imbursed that necessarily.
Some people make a social thing out of it too, but for the most part CarDomain does seem a little self-grandious and phony too me...
