Yes, we've thought about hiding the high-resolution versions.
A couple of weeks ago we changed the way we store images so the the uploaded files have a different name than the small/medium/larges.
Ahah! I wondered what happened to the original "Img_7002.jpg" style
identification at the end of the URL. It was missing and I was going to ask about it.
Previously if you could view the small image, you could guess the URL for the original image file. So when we put online the option to keep the highres version hidden, people won't be able to guess the URL.
That explains the randomized-looking string that is now at the end
of the original URLs.
I hope we can still have "original" for "Display" purposes while
having a hidden "fine-print" option using a hidden xtra-large file.
But however you decide to handle it will likely be easy to adjust to.
As for requiring more space, our goal is really to have everyone on the basic $23 plan. We're not trying to force people to pay for more space by needing high rez images. This is why we keep increasing the quota, and if printing generates any revenue, we will continue to increase it.

Very impressive, Slug. And, just when some insisted you folks would
never reply in the forums and some of us crazy whiners had too much
faith that you would =eventually= as in the past (life is ironic), you
REALLY up'd the presence, both with other admin people showing up to
help us and with all these neat features. It's like a renewal of life here.
Thanks for all the good work (and your request for Emily's
"immediate" work on 'better statistics' was pretty funny).
Fantastic to see this site really taking off with the new features.
And pretty good communication too!
