<snip> (...) I'd just like to chime in here. While I agree with Jon's original post (that these avatar pics are getting very old), I also understand that they aren't doing anything wrong. I myself have a few non-lego related pics in my folder, but I (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Bionicle Avatar pictures flooding BrickShelf
 
(...) While I do agree with you that the TOS may need to be re-looked at, I still would have to say that these avatar images ARE Bionicle (hence LEGO, by your own admission), and as such, allowable. And, while this may have been one of your points, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) How about a suggestion to Kevin that the recent gallery not get things sent to it unless the user explicitly checks a box to do it? That way when you reorged your folders it wouldn't cause flooding. (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

  Re: Bionicle Avatar pictures flooding BrickShelf
 
(...) That is just your opinion. What gives you the right to post what you want (a MOC, etc) and say that is more Lego related than what some person does with an Avatar which is nothing more than an image of a Bionicle character? Both are Lego. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
