It can do tube-style imports (url|description|image url|etc). And I'm integrating it with Trade Expert to give it a robust ratio/trading feature as well. Right now people sign up and submit their own galleries. The signup is a custom sign up page but it interacts with Wordpress' database, so it's as secure as the native Wordpress page.

Basically you can turn Wordpress into whatever you heart desires. It's all about keeping an eye on what your ultimate goal is and keeping organized. Wordpress can handle the rest ;)
