on point two, there are users who cannot afford even the basic tier.
on the master index...ok, fair point. if people want to post links to their galleries, ok, I still think it should be centralized so no one needs to go digging for said links.
that said, how would you properly word such an invitation/post?
If you're talking about a thread for people to post links to their work, that's pretty straightforward. However, and I'm going on the record here, I am strongly opposed in one person hosting stuff on their own account for several reasons:
1. Personality clash and denial of access.
2. Injury/death results in lack of updates, lack of access, loss of access; ultimately, denial of access for the owner of the images.
3. Ownership issues when it comes to copyright and fair use.
If you wanted to have a thread where the first post sums up the mission and the second post is edited to add additional links that people post in subsequent comments, that would work. Or, point them other free sites. But remember this, "free" is never free. Anything posted there will often be the sites to use in perpetuity without compensation to the original author, regardless of whether the image is still hosted there or not.
In the end, while I applaud your desire to help, I still suggest informing people of their options and allowing them to find the best fit for them.
