Tabulas 1.0
As work begins with Tabulas 1.0, we feel it's our ... obligation to let you guys decide how the new system is going to be structured.
As much as we'd like to keep Tabulas 100% free, there is no possible way that economics will support that ideology ...
Tabulas will be offering both free and non-free accounts. Obviously, the non-free accounts will be more feature packed than the free ones. Off the bat, we can say that hit logging will probably not be available for everyone (although AIM tracking might be ...) due to the high CPU usage.
We hope that we can charge for a greater image storage fee and additional styling abilities with images; we're leaning towards "phases" for free accounts.
As of now, we're leaning towards allowing users 75 images quota for the first month they join Tabulas. After the one month, their limit will be pushed to 150. This is to prevent one-day signups posting 150 images without ever journaling once.
Paid users will probably receive 400 images storage with advanced features for $25/year.
But we'd like YOUR thoughts... how should Tabulas set limitations on free/paid users?
P.S. Beta users will be alloted the same features as paid users at no cost =)

Bug: I tried to change my username to "jiv" and then back to "sanjiv". That went perfectly fine. But now when I make a post, and try to access my post through the link in the "recent entires" box in the admin panel, it leads me to tabulas.com/~jiv which doesn't exist. The same applies to my old posts in the recent entries box. What's supposed to be "http://www.tabulas.com/entry.php?user=sanjiv&expand=589" shows up as "http://www.tabulas.com/entry.php?user=jiv&expand=589".
Suggestion: For comments, if a user is replying to a comment, can you please indent that comment slightly to the right? So visually we can see which posts are comments to the journal entry, and which posts are replies to comments. Would make things look neater also.

we're working on a slight workaround with the release of 1.0 once we get the styles standardized.

Oh, somebody suggested the ability to link to images instead of actually uploading them once the limit has been reached. Will that be implemented? It'll be useful for us free users.

I mean if you think about it, the per year thing is an incredible low cost for people ... :)
