Until about a week ago, we had a download counter, but it was one of several things that was causing a massive performance issue. It pretty much needs to be rewritten from scratch. It'll be back again some time in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Sounds good to me. I had considered making it something that anyone can do if they earn enough reputation, but it's probably best to keep it to a small group so that we can be consistent.
The data is still there, so theoretically we should be able to keep it. I don't want to make any promises, but at the moment I don't see why we wouldn't.
This is a technical note to myself so that I remember how I'm going to do it. I'll be adding a hidden user reference to art submissions, and each time art is saved, it checks to see if the external author field has been filled out. If there's something in that field and it matches the name of an OGA user, then I reference that user in the hidden field. Otherwise, I reference the submitter in that field.
In the user gallery view, I just need to filter on that field rather than submitter.
@MrBeast: That does include some extra money for hiring people to work on the site, commission more art, etc (even once my contract ends and I'm hopefully working on OGA full-time), although for particularly large endeavors (such as an outside site redesign, which would be in the tens of thousands) I might have to do a kickstarter.
This is some really nice stuff. :)
So, funny story.

I'm guessing there's a fair amount of playing around with weights to get the best results.
Welcome back! :)
Clint could answer this better than me, but there may be a way to adjust relevance based on whether the keyword is in the submission or the comments.

No problem.
