Now this might just be my opinion, but considering many of the people I know in the technology field have a disposable income of around $1k/month, I don't think there's very many people that would throw away 20% of it on an image dump. If you make more than that, then you are rich by my standards.
See, for me it's not an "image dump", but a nice hobby project. Managing a community as well as the technical challenges this site presents is interesting. I can spare $200 but not $3000.
Also, I learned a great deal of JavaScript while building that page and I just now learned a bit about load balancing and setting up Varnish - something which may come handy for godknowswhat. I never imagined making my living by writing a JS game engine either.
