I would guess that the most frequent contributors to the Forums and Gallery all have more credits than they're ever going to use, but I would also guess that gaining credits has ceased to become important to them. Certainly, in my case, the reasons I contribute are because I enjoy the interaction with other members, I like to help people and I like to exhibit my work. The BioCredits system is good because it prevents non-members and new members from downloading everything in one go, and encourages people to join and contribute to the community, but once most people get "hooked" I suspect that the issue of BioCredits becomes irrelevant - I don't even know how many I've got without looking. (Ooh - 7245! Fancy that!)
