As I understand it, as a contributing member, you can have a total of 50 MB worth of pics in your gallery. If you have more than that now, you will not be able to upload any more pictures. The site will NOT automatically delete any pics if you are over the limit.
You are in the same boat as me. When the limit was implemented, I had 156 MB of pics. That is 3 times the limit. I've deleted almost 300 pics (844 to 577), but still have 114 MB worth of pics. I wanted to see if I could "easily" get down to the limit.
You can do nothing regarding your gallery. But if you want to post any more pics on the site, you will have to store any new pics on one or more of the picture sites such as PhotoBucket, Flickr, Webshots, Shutterfly, Freeweb, Kodak, MySpace on MSN, etc.
My problem is that there was never any storage limit since I joined. All of my pics are in the range of 150 to 200 kb. If I want to keep the photos that are left in the gallery (and get below the limit), I will have to find the original on my computer, resize it down to approx 50 kb size (but keeping the same file number the camera gave it originally), deleting the big pic in the gallery and then uploading the lower sized pic into my gallery. That would be a lot of work for someone like you that has a full time job (make that 2 full time jobs - mother and chauffeur).
