Look, I don't know about any one else... but I never poseted an image a day. I would save up for weeks and maybe months... then post a set of images I liked. That's been taken away from me by an arbitrary decision. Like it or not, the Gallery is a draw to new people. When I choose to share my work here it is R'osity and other members who benefit from my art. Not me. Personal Web space is cheap enough that I can put up my own gallery without worrying about Rosity or not. To decide the value of my art is so little that my expression can be limited, is a real slap in the face to me. It's like attempting to regulate inspiration. I understand the need for limits ont he Gallery. Hell, I agree with need for limits. But the one a day rule could have been 7 a week, or 30 a month, or even a collective 365 a year. It would have the same effect of making people think before they post and it would not show disrespect to artists. Or... you could have offered people a choice what uploading method they wanted. One a Day for every day of the year. 20 a month, or 180 per year. I would have selected 180 a year and been quite happy. But anyone who doesn't do a Naked Vicky in a Temple a Day isn't part of the Rosity Cult of personality, so our opinions don't matter. If you are SO concerneed about bandwidth that my work is no longer of value to you and to this community, fine. We'll see what your gallery looks look when the people who don't fit your mold simply leave. I'll HELP you save you precious bandwidth by removing all my gallery art. Now you have pleanty of bandwidth for the "picture a day" crowd. What you loose is my unique and painstakingly thought out series of pictures. Quite frankly this has been discussed to death, and it's obvious that nothing said here or anywhere else will change R'osity's regulations, or my disgust with them. I have already deleted and moved on. But please don't try and spew propaganda at me that this is OK and that I should feel wrong for not liking it. If there is one thing you can do to really piss off any artist, it's take away his choices. Simular results could have been achived without such Draconian measures, but I was never given a choice.
