Hmm that's a good point.  But I wasn't really trying to "weed people out" so I
may have sent the wrong message!

I think a system similar to the one on LUGNET would be great. (Where you can
post messages for free, but by becoming a full member you get a lot of
additional perks.) You could for example, lay down a rules that limit the size
of the picture, and are more stringent toward quality for those who are 'free'
members, and ask for a nominal fee from the rest.

Yeah that's a possibility - but the key point is that LUGNET memberships are
lifetime memberships (if I remember correctly).  Would that work for Brickshelf?

True, but I don't want to have to go through a hundred other sites to find one
cool MOC a day. A centralised place is much better.

I would think that most people who really want their MOC to be seen would use
Brickshelf then?  Just like someone who wanted to sell an item online would
likely go to eBay...
