I would rather see the old stuff removed after it grows stale on the shelf, rather than restrict what can be added. Personally, I've seen my own work grow and mature a great deal in the last year, and the same goes for many of the other artists out there. Having my old stuff pulled after, say three to six months is not a problem, in fact, I tend to do it myself. But I am a staunch "anti-limits" proponent. If there is a bandwidth issue,... GET MORE BANDWIDTH!! This has always been a cop-out of corporate America,... "screw the user becasue we're too cheap to fork over for more bandwidth". It is one of the main reasons the internet still crawls when it should be flying. As to stuff getting buried and not seen because "too many downloads are placed in front of me in the queue",... well, WAH! Try competing in any market in this world an see what happens if you don't "produce, produce, produce". From what I've seen, if you're worried about hits and ratings, change your name to one of the three or four prefered artists in the community, and you'll boatloads. If you're worried about furthering your art, stop typing on forums and get back to work. All that ranting said, personally, I can't produce fast enough that I have to worry about posting more than two or three a day anyway. I'd say leave the three a day limit alone and cull out the old stuff,... standard practice for any server maintenance.
