Honestly, as much as I support this idea, we're a niche community which are competing with the likes of Fur Affinity and SoFurry. FA for mainly art and SoFurry for lemons/fiction (for which there is a lot of Digimon stuff). We're going to have a hard time pulling traffic from these places, especially by word of mouth since we're so small.
Since I do support this movement though, my wife has suggested we not try a user submitted system unless we have the framework and hardware that has good scalability. Since we're small, this wouldn't be a problem at first (and may never become a problem), but if we do take off we'll need to keep with demand. FA has this problem and it seems like every couple of months that have issues with the ability to scale with its increasing user base. An submission system run by an active admin staff may seem like the only viable solution at the moment.
