From there, it's just a matter finding a way to 'host' them for the 'little' guys who don't have the ability to host the database for others.

Now this 'system' isn't for everyone.. there's some people out there who pride themselves with their collections and revel in knowing that they have 'the largest' or 'best content', etc. My 'idea' is more of a socialist view... try to give as much as possible in hopes that others may give, so that everyone can have an equal (or close to an equal) collection. Onces people have 'the basics', it's alot easier to collect new pics.
(If people are weary of socialist or communist views, lighten up I say. It's just the internet! lol)

Anyways, thats some mindless rambling from me.! lol

You can host on a Mac using MySQL. Then it all depends on how much HD space you have.
