In the case of a thumb preview TGP, unless you used softcore images for the thumbs, you would be required to obtain the records from the webmasters that submitted the galleries to you which would be impossible.

Again, we come back to the discussion: Show me where the google exemption is, and we can work from there.
There has already been rulings regarding use of thumbs under fair use. If you can operate without a license, and without having to note anything about 2257 as it exists, I am not sure how the new (yet operating) rules apply in these cases. To state this as fact is giving people what may turn out to be very bad legal advice.
I would think you would need to be much more concerned with the image that appear in the banners and other advertisements on your websites. I think that would be a much bigger deal, unless (by your logic) you are intending to run 100% softcore banners (which would include no hardcore sites being promoted, because once you combine a softcore image with hardcore text, there is potential to be considered sexual in nature, which moves it all back into the A-D sections).
Please take your legal advice and run it to the end and see what it gets you. Think about it!
