What is the problem? The only one I see is bandwidth for Bill and CAF, which probably isn't that much when it comes to dormant galleries. Why do people want dormant CAF galleries removed?

Bandwidth cannot be a problem! It means traffic, and traffic is what all websites owners look for. And I prefer a dormant CAF gallery (where I can see great original artworks, even if their real owner changed 3 times since it was uploaded on this gallery) to no gallery at all.

At the very least, flagged as dormant. They sometimes include art I would like to buy, and am disappointed—needlessly—when I get no response. Even a negative can be better.

And if the CAF gallery isn't dormant and the owner doesn't respond. What is the bloody difference? 

If artwork is listed NFS and someone asks to buy it. Do you really expect the owner to respond. He or she has already stated on the page it isnt for sale.

Actually, I have recently gotten a response to an NFS, so they can and do respond. But there are also some posts with no status, or which say something like make offer, or even quote a price. 
What is the problem with marking something dormant after 5 years?

I think this is typical internet armchair quarterback behaviour where people are trying to solve minor problems with other people's time and money.

I watch Hoarders they way other people watch British Bake Off. It calms me.

I thought that and distributing memes and cat videos is what the inter webs was mostly for?

I think it is a minor annoyance which, if easily and cheaply addressed, why not?

To whom is it an annoyance? Unless its the people who are constantly looking thru CAF all the time. Just seems like people are looking for a problem that isn't there.

I guess I qualify as one of those people. Again, not a killer, but an annoyance.

I know a lot of you by your CAF galleries, even if it's not part of your "signature".  On the flip-side, some of the commenters, I don't know their CAF galleries at all.  So does that mean CAF lurkers are commenting on dormant CAF galleries ??

I actually watch that show to motivate myself to trim and organize the 'ol collection (not that my place looks remotely like anything on that show).

But, I could show you some pics of one place that does...

What I don’t understand is why the objection to simply hitting something like a radio button every 3-5 years acknowledging this is an active page. That is a simple solution to a minor problem, easily remedied.

Isnt the 'most recent additions' banner with the date of last posting enough

There is ..... It's called subscribing to the annual premium membership and paying for it via PayPal.  $75 per year.  If anyone has not yet joined, please consider doing so.

Bill Cox should really have EVERY CAF user pay a minimum amount even if it's $10 per year.  This will help out with costs of storage space that the pics require.  He can still have premium membership with different benefits.  My 2¢.
