I don't see a huge improvement. If you look, all the galleries have 12 pages.
They each show the most recent 200 entries in the category.
I don't know what the churn rate is, but it might be worth keeping an eye on
your one that's just shown up, and see how long before it drops off the end of
the gallery.
There are some interesting MOCs there, but the pictures don't do them justice.

They need some sort of merit system so that better or popular ones stick around
for longer.
There's nothing on the gallery to encourage me to go looking for other people's
MOCs to download. There are some good links from the Save9VTrains site, but
someone needs to pull the good ones together across all categories. The obvious
people to do it are LEGO themselves.
