Is the forum too much? (1 Viewer)

I originally started these images sites as a place to post images and have discussions based on comments and replies posted for photos. I know that eliminates a lot of other discussion topics. However, I am just curious if you had a choice between a forum with a gallery like we have now or the gallery site on its own as originally created? I am trying to come up with an idea that will meet the needs of all and be unique at the same time.

Only two voters so far - where is everybody ...?
