Issues with the Gallery

Notice how some gallery images have a much higher comment count than what's actually displayed. In addition, the statistics are not displayed correctly.

Often times I wonder why people join our community. Would be cool to see what people are searching for and possibly display the last ten searches. I think it would drive traffic and increase activity.

I believe the usage of direct email to members is being abused.

There should be a credit limit to allow sending emails directly OR for every email sent, credits are removed (i.e. 5 credits per email sent).

Chatting with people on this site is very, very difficult. Instead on an entirely different application, it would be wise to make a chat or shutbox so people can ask questions or chill or whatever.

Any thoughts..?
