The "Quality Images" forum is a result of a board decision 50-11 years ago to give Sheppsie sole control of IotD (because he was good at it and we didn't want IotD to get watered down) while allowing other Dwellars to post other pretty pictures.

IotD is essentially the bread and butter of the Cellar...it has brought many fine Dwellars to our establishment. But I can understand how it can become tedious as well. I dunno...I wouldn't mind helping keep it up on a daily, but maybe a little break on UT's part (week? month?) will recharge his battery and make him want to do them on a daily (or almost-daily) again.

While this is undeniable . . . .

The Cellar got along just fine when there were no images (of the day, or of anything else). I too would be sorry to see IotD go. But The Cellar would go on very well without it.

Maybe this is an opportunity to articulate exactly what makes the IotD special, and worth continuing, in the face of several hundred thousand social bookmarking sites and blogs. That might give us some insight into good ways to proceed, that would preserve what makes IotD IotD.
