wallpaper site or digital artwork site?

OK - just a question/comment - is caedes supposed to be a wallpaper site or a digital art site that only supports desktop resolutions?

The thing is, there are a lot of good wallpapers on the site, but there are even more great submissions that are awesome peices of art but make horrible desktop wallpapers. I think its time for caedes to decide if it wants to limit itself to desktop wallpapers or not.

I know for a fact that wallpaper res graphics are not the only graphics i design. I personally do typography works, posters, CD covers, and plenty of other things. I know there are more people that do the same.

So what I'm proposing is 2 divisions of caedes.net - desktop wallpaper (since it dominates the site) and graphic design. Not only would it draw more people like myself to the site, it would also provide diversity (nothing but wallpapers gets pretty boring).

The first thing that caedes will say is: "it's too hard to configure/code", but listen to this:

All you do is add another group of galleries that support only 326x247 thumbnails (since that's already the size of the thumbnails you generate). The user uploads the thumb and links to a full version of the work (i.e the user provides hosting for his/her images). Most users have access to free space so it would be no big deal.

Please think about this because a couple friends of mine (including myself) are becoming tired of JUST wallpaper, we wanna show our other work too.
