IMO, the main great thing about Brickshelf is that it is free. It
allows just about anyone to share their LEGO pictures. But, if
membership fees are necessary to support the site, then perhaps you
could use membership to turn off banner ads, or for those people who
need over a set limit of disk space...although that hurts the people who
post movies.
$5/month is very high though...I pay $30/yr for a full web host with 50
MB, 3 GB transfer, PHP, MYSQL, subdomains, etc.
