I think the admin has lost interest in astronomy. So the moderators moderate but chances of a major revamp are probably quite low.
On the subject of fees, I am a moderator on "The Sky Searchers" Forum. We also have image size limits albeit bigger at 5MB each. This results in server costs of about USD1400 per annum. Each quarter, a donations button appears until we raise the USD350 required for that quarter. It usually takes about 12 -18hrs to raise the money. As soon as the total is reached, the donation button is closed again until next quarter.
These days, Photoshop is much better at crunching down images without loss or artefacts. So while the TSS 5MB limit is nice, I don't have a problem with the much smaller size limit on IIS.
