Spending the resources to custom design functionality within vBulletin is unfortunately not practical. We are very limited in what we can do and because this is a website that deals with development and not photography the return on investment in terms of visitors to a custom coded forum feature would not be large enough to warrant the time and expense.

We do the best we can with the resources we have and the systems within which we operate. That being said the photography forums are quite popular and the level of skill and talent presented by so many photographers is incredible.

I understand that many photographers want the feedback, and not receiving that feedback can have a negative impact, but quite honestly the sheer volume of viewers of these threads should be the metric despite not being at all engaging.
