Things to ask:

-What will the differences between regular users and subscribers be? What features will subscribers get that non subscribers won't?


NAY-DeviantART instant messaging program? Doubtful anytime soon but eventually it will be a good thing to have.


-PaintChat style feature! Imagine the featured chats with that program, everyone signs on to watch a professional artist draw on it. And people could train others! Get a company like Adobe behind it!


-Note searching. Arrange notes by sender, date, and title.


-A new uploader for large files. Similar to google videos uploader. That way you can resume uploads if a print fails, preventing the need for FTP access which would cut down on help desk cases. It needs some kind of progress bar, not to prevent upload failures but to give the user reassurance who uploads large files. This is particularly important if you want to support quicktime.


-Quicktime support! Would require the uploader.


-Submission system without all the next's. Think like nvidias driver selection page.
-Same needs to be done for gallery searching, because there's that huge long line of gallery sections and it gets confusing.
