Oh no. Wherever will humanity store Geekshelf's 5 billion images of poorly drawn anime fan art for future generations. A truly great loss indeed.

(...) What the? I wasn't expecting this? Do you define these files (hosted by geekshelf) as poor anime fan art? (URL) anyone have any reasons why such a site would decide to shut down on such short notice? (Kevin, I would prefer you charge us for a (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I agree with Jon here. Most of the stuff on Geekshelf is of NO interest to me whatsoever. If people want a free site to host their images, there's plenty of those out there. If Geekshelf is drawing upon resources for Brickshelf, then I don't (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Just to clear things up, I was referring to web hosting places: Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, etc. They have banners & ads, but they're free so you can't complain. -Bryan (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I can. One of the greatest things about [Brick,Geek]Shelf is that you can host *images* which can be linked to, and loaded from, your other sites. Those free sites are great for small amounts of html and a few images, but provide nothing close (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

(...) NO this is horrible. Have you seen this girl on there, Serena something-er-other. She's a hottie. And she posts some very nice pics, and I've googled the hell out of it and can't find anything else of her. Oh and by nice I mean "How-you-doin" (...)

Jon, I agree that geekshelf has too much anime but I disagree that geekshelf is not a valueable resource. I have used it to store images of my college work so that it is easily accessable to my friends and family. (URL) this service can not be (...) (21 years ago, 31-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) IMO, this may be exactly why Geekshelf is folding. I truly regret the loss, but for my own selfish purposes. I have an account (which I'm disabling in chunks), and have used it in moderation, and with respect to the TOS. There is stuff on (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Is this a joke? Yes, you made me look. The rest is here: (URL) that one image "cindy" is identical to one on geekshelf. And it is a pity, this IS probably why geekshelf is going offline. -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
