As a submitter it was easier to self softcore/tease when mixed in with hardcore. But as an owner I understand why they get split into two different pages.
I do not mind the 12 pic rule per page. With all the new avenues for surfers holding onto to bookmarks and keeping traffic is difficult. So a little more content honestly does not hurt if you throw in a couple more tease pics.
Maybe cutting back to 10 pics per page but requiring 3 gallery pages, or more, instead may be better. Owners get more content for bookmarks/traffic and subbers have more advertising pages to sell with
