I've noticed that in the Galleries there are a lot of old 'galleries' like Beginner, Holiday, Memorial, Digital Comics -- that really should probably be genres instead, at least in my opinion. I mean, Poser, Rhino, 3DSMax, Bryce, 2d (though I think it would be better divided into digital painting and traditional media), all these make sense as Galleries. But 'Holiday'... seems a little weird as Galleries now that we have generes, and things like 'Beginner' really sort of fit into genre better too, don't they? Or is it a legacy thing in that if someone uploaded to the 'Digital Comics' gallery, the thing could be Digital Painting, Poser, Bryce, zBrush, or any number of things and there's no way to automatically determine something's digital origins, at least not automatically, so those galleries have to stay there? If so, wouldn't it be good to at least remove those options from the Gallery Uploads so that no new ones can get there, and when people update their images (if ever) they have to choose some other gallery? I dunno, just seems there has to be a way to do that.
