Icons: how much is "enough"?

[denise]

Since icons are one of the more popular things we offer, a major driver of paid accounts, and something that people often request ("more icons" is one of the most frequent suggestions), I'm curious as to what people would consider "enough" icon slots. I'm setting the low end of this poll at 250, which is the most available (premium paid/seed accounts) in any account offered now; please answer the point at which you'd feel you had 'enough' icon slots, however you define that:

How many icon slots would be enough to suit you?

I wonder this, too.

I used to think 10 or so was fine, though now that I have essentially-unlimited slots, I do have over 100 I think... but I regularly use only about a couple dozen. (In fact, when I look at my allpics page, I regularly go, "Oh right, you had uploaded that one once, hadn't you".)

So I wonder whether people treat their allpics page as a kind of mini-gallery, rather than as a repository of icons to actually use for posts and entries.

I've not uploaded mine here, but i have 1000 spaces on IJ, and have about 600 uploaded. And yeah, in a normal month, i would probably use most of those. ;)
