hey, I've got 50 meg of models, but no web site to host them, I've been graciously offered space at Peejay's (thanks Peejay) and a few other sites, but most of what I make ain't exactly 'marketable'..;) I put up usually a coupla (or more) pics a week..of varying quality..stop by the forums twice a day..so you can't say I'm not doing my part..;)
I think what it means is that a lot of folks join 'rosity, look around, maybe leave, and the space is still there for them to return. On the other hand, I've seen long dry spells from some prolific artists (was trying to recover from a bad CD backup, and was pulling folks from September of '02), so it'd be a shame to put up 300 pictures (like this guy was), and find someone had deleted all your work in the interim..(I back up each pic as I make it, and I know even I've lost a few pics here and there).
Bottom line, it might be worthwhile to transfer some of the 'inactive' accounts to backup servers to improve access performance. Maybe if an account hasn't been used in a year, the name could be retired an made available again (and I could finally become Gadfly, my first choice..;)
There's no onus on creating art, or even trying..it may sell advertising (if you're here even just to look, you're gonna see it..unless you tune it out like..uh..uh oh..TOS violation?..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
