I agree with Darkginger about not limiting the gallery counts. I have about 68 in mine, a kind of history of my artwork and progression. I think it shows good and bad how my art has transpired, and it's my hope that it's an inspiration to others. As far as the back galleries go, I could see that. If an artist hasn't logged on in a year or two, to send them a reminder to see if they are still around and then if not, close out their gallery. Rosity never promised that the galleries would be permanent records of someone's work. Although I agree that some would be very missed.

The 1 a day limit doesn't really bother me, and doesn't really surprise me. I dont post but once a week at best anyway, so doesn't really effect me. I don't agree with the whole 'if ppl spent more time' thing, with all due respect to Miyu. There are some artists that can really create great art in a few hours, people like robcamp and j-art to name a few.

$60 a year is a lot to be able to upload 3 images with no other benefits. Even if I was a poster of that many, I wouldn't go for that. There are too many other sites out there that would be glad to pick up the slack. I knew money would wind up coming into play at some point into this because of the rumored financial problems that Renderosity has, but this ain't the way to do it. And since you are an international place, $60 American can translate into pretty hefty fees in other countries. I would think something like $20-30 a year would be more paractical. I guess we'll see how the ball bounces, but I kinda fear it's the beginning of the end...
