I don't see it that way, although I can understand why some would.
I am not a big fan of duplicating other peoples efforts.
That's why I never made a set database, because a great one already
existed.
I was unaware that image hosting was in the Lugnet long-term plan.
It does seem to be a logical extension of the Brickshelf site,
which is essentially an image warehouse. The gallery function grew out
of the need for people to host their personal images. This was also
a great project for me to further develop my C skills with.
I guess you could consider the "Member Index" as a community which might
compete with the Lugnet community. I expect the member index to become
irrelevant as soon as the "recent stuff" page is working. I really had no
choice. If people are going to upload images, they need verified accounts,
and you need some logical way to access/present that information. The
member index is just a side-effect of the image warehouse, not the focus.
The focus is and always will be on the content.

I'd say if anything it's in the really really long-term plan -- someday when
bandwidth grows on trees. Image hosting was the very first thing Suzanne and
I talked about doing back in the summer of '96 but as soon as it became clear
that places like Geocities could do that sort of thing already, there didn't
seem to be much point in ever worrying about that.
What you've created is incredible, BTW, and far cooler than Geocities could
ever be for images and stuff!
