"By cutting down on forums I feel that the PTB have not increased the professionalism of the site. Better they cut down on the cheesy renders that have taken over this place. Of course, folks can actually PAY to upload more than one cheeseball graphic per day. Sort of the Vanity Press of the artworld." Why not just do what DAZ does (back when we hashed out how the personal galleries would be set up), and force the user to a gallery limit of n images (like, 10?) It's all upside, really: The prolific posters would be forced to keep the thing up like it were an actual portfolio (meaning that they either have to replace the crappier ones with newer, ostensibly more improved ones, or run out of space.) The site also doesn't have to run out to NewEgg and buy 40 more hard drives every week, and there's less overall load on the DB software because it won't have as much to chew through. Limiting uploads to one per week would be nice, too - it would discourage those who have this ungodly urge to post a new render every ten minutes. Perhaps a grace period of unlimited uploads per day on the initial potfolio loads, but after that, it's once a week - and since you have time, maybe you can work on the thing some more and make it better? If the user wants more space, make 'em pay $n/month for unlimited portfolio space/upload-frequency, etc. /P
