Ahh, makes sense to require registration for all that:) Just seems,
dang I can never spell that word! Erm, means un-needed 'cept it ends
in ary or something *g* to require registration for those who just
want to quickly download a theme or image.

This is more a general thing than specifically aimed at your site so
please don't take it the wrong way.
gnome-look.org kde-look.org only require registration for voting and
uploading I believe, all the downloading doesn't require registration.
art.gnome.org not having registration at all it'd seem.
Simple put it's 'yet another site' requiring registration that might
never be used again, it gets tiring after a while. The whole basis for
the bugmenot extension for firefox. :)
I agree totally on registration for upload though.

Multiple theme sites are always good as they tend to lean towards one
area or another.
Maybe I should create my own and make it listen on 127.0.0.1 *heavy thoughts*.
