Why the lack of Virtual System postings?

If you've noticed the severe decrease in Virtual System activity since the new format was introduced, it is probably due to the restriction on included images, to no more than 50.
As I, and many others already have more than 50 included on our Virtual System page......we are unable to add any new ones.
This means that all the most active Members' Systems are stuck in a virtual 'Time Warp' circa 2015 👀💤
I have many new cartridges, power conditioners and cables as well as tweeks which I simply can't add.
I've written to the moderators and they say that their Tech Dept will modify this if enough members write in...💻
I have always thought the Virtual Systems section set A'Gon apart from all the other Audio Forum Sites and it is disheartening to see this feature wither and die...
What are your thoughts....❓

@halcro WOW!  Your system pics are overwhelming. What do you do with all of those cartridges??  Hey...don't take this as slam in any way, I just find all of that gear remarkable.  When I read your original post, my first thought was Who is going to complain about a limit of 50 system pics?  Having looked at your system, I think I now understand.

Here's my concern.. I wish every Agoner would post their virtual system so as we read their posts we can look at their gear and have a better way to assess where they're coming from.  Seeing the system brings us closer to everyone involved in this community.

Haha...thanks hifiman 😎
I sometimes wonder myself why I need all those cartridges and the answer is....I don't 😜‼️
I've had mega-dollar LOMC cartridges but for the price of one of them, I can have 15 vintage MM cartridges and many of those 15 cartridges will give as much enjoyment as that single über price-buster.
And then it becomes a 'sickness'....
Is there another undiscovered gem out there which might sound even better...?
And of course I have 6 arms to feed and 5 of them allow for quick interchangeability between my many cartridges.
I am currently trying to pick my favourite 10 cartridges and match them to their favourite arms and then be done with it.....
But you know.....there still are cartridges out there I think I need to hear 🎶👀

And then there's mono.
But seriously, Halcro, can you not remove some of your old photos that may no longer depict your system as it is currently, and thereby sneak below the 50-photo limit?  You've reminded me that I am derelict in keeping my system(s) up to date, as described here.  On the other hand, I never thought anyone gave a hoot.  I should post some photos of my Victor TT101 in its highly modified QL10 plinth, to show what I have done to add mass and stiffness.
