I know one reason I wouldn't.... I have some users that upload as an attachment some "really stupid" smilies... and I wouldn't want them in a media gallery. "Maybe" ones individual albums are enabled, but still probably not.
Chris, this may be a problem on my end, but when I try to embed media the site just keeps the busy tab in the right corner of the browser. I can go into the forum and use the same link and successfully embed media into a post. Any suggestions on what to look at/for? I have assigned myself (in all user groups that I am a member of) full permissions for the add-on. It's been showing as a busy icon for the last 10 minutes and still not embedded. I can upload an image just fine. I had the BBCode Media Sites pack installed (disabled it and tried it) and also the BBCode editors (uninstalled them and no change).

Same thing as threads, you need to (I assume) move them manually. The amount of uploads you will get will be a lot less than the amount of new posts/threads.
The feature that allows you to display any video with a BB code may make this a killer app.
What about BB code that lets you embed amazon or ebay links? With affiliate links you can make a HIGHLY profitable page that displays products that are targeted for your niche...
