"First world ImgFlip problems" for sure, but hear me out

To me, modding my own personal streams, where I can express a viewpoint or celebrate one specific topic, is one of the most fun aspects of ImgFlip.

I created 5 streams within probably my first 3 weeks here at ImgFlip. The other day, I tried to create a new stream and found that the button on my profile to create a new stream had just disappeared. To my consternation, after looking into this, I found that I was hard-capped at 5 streams.

Y'all probably know I have streams for Kylie Minogue imgflip.com/m/KylieMinogue and her lesser-known but equally cute and talented sister, Dannii imgflip.com/m/danniiminogue. If I had more than 5 streams available to me, then I would certainly create a few more streams dedicated to other well-known pop stars with an excellent musical taste and unique visual sense -- such as Bruno Mars (depicted), Lady Gaga, and/or Madonna.

And who knows what other stream ideas I might have as I continue to use the platform.

Stream deletion is always an option. However, my streams aren't like some of those obscure streams out there that only have 5-10 memes total. All 5 of them are chock-full of memes already and expanding by the day. I've put a lot of time into building them, and deleting any of them is not a realistic option. I could in theory consolidate my Kylie and Dannii streams, but that would take a lot of time, and I just don't want to.

Another work-around I've considered is just asking another ImgFlipper to create a new stream for me. I would prefer to have all my original stream ideas appear as streams I own on my own profile (and to exercise sole MOD control over them), but this would at least allow these streams to exist.

So: Is the 5-stream limit ever going to be raised?

(Also minor point: I'd like to be able to re-name streams. I have since thought of some slightly better/more playful names for my "Cringe_Hard" stream imgflip.com/m/Cringe_Hard such as "Cringe_Binge" or "Cringe_Against_The_Machine," but I wouldn't be surprised to hear if stream names are hard-coded into ImgFlip and that's okay.)

I Made A Stream Last Night I Made 43 Memes And thought I'll just create my own Stream Because Posting to most streams is pointless especially Fun I'm not saying my memes are great but just like anybody else Some are okay to a least get a chance, but then I started thinking Why Make My Own Stream Nobody's gonna see or Care About So 😧 Ah Whatever ✌😄

Raised this from 5 to 10 for now. We still want some sort of limit to help discourage people from just spam-creating a ton of streams to reserve names or something. We'll do more auto-reclaiming of inactive streams in the future though so we may be able to increase the limit at that time.

The Create Stream button should now always show up as well, so the page can at least be viewed easily.

Slightly off-topic but while I'm ranting: Another ImgFlip feature that would be cool would be the option to sort memes from your own profile by the number of views and/or upvotes they've received

Something like this would help memers stay organized and focused on content that was a real hit!
