I was talking to TracyJTZ on PM and sort of came up with an idea that would help alleviate some of the concerns on the site.
It's basically to create a Hall of Fame gallery. The reasoning is that it would create a selective gallery much more reminscient of the galleries before the site was so huge; the images would all be the very best, and the gallery would only grow very slowly.
Just to give you an idea what we're looking at so far:
A Hall of Fame gallery, where images meeting certain requirements are nominated and then voted on for induction:
1. Requirements: an age limit (6months? 1 year?); a download requirement; c-index requirement (maybe not?)
1. Nominations should be seconded (maybe only Cadre members may make a nomination, and only one's who have been on the site for at least 6months or a year) that is a nice incentive to donate to the site!) but any image meeting the above requirements, regardless of artist, may be nominated
2. Voting panel may be just the imagemods, or imagemods plus a selection of members, possibly rotating membership.

Help us think about this further! Thank you.
