I think people are attracted and a community is engaged by more opportunities to participate, rather than fewer.
If the observation is too many people posting to IotD, then provide other attractive options for them to post images.
If the observation is just too many people ... then don't invite others by text advertising on popular forums.
Maybe UT's original post in this thread could be unclear to some of our new members, in that it might imply that there are too many people, when he might mean something else entirely.
And if Cellar advertizes on Fark, it is probably a good idea to make it obvious and clear where and how Photoshop Phrenzy! works in the Cellar. I thought NBN was very creative in his approach for that forum, where a member would post an unmodified image to be photoshopped by the members. And this would be more appreciated in the Main.
