Hello All!

From what it seems, Geekshelf is counting its days.  Go to the Geekshelf
home page and see why:

http://www.geekshelf.com

That is sad.  However, I am curious if this is a good thing in some way.  I
have heard how BrickShelf and GeekShelf have been exceeding thier bandwith
for forever, is the death of Geekshelf a good thing?  If all the bandwith of
Geekshelf is freed up for Brickshelf, then horay! we may have a fast
BrickShelf by this time next month!!!

So, hats off to GeekShelf, a marytr for us Lego fans. (Maybe)

Jeremy

And what happens when geekshelf is lost, but
brickshelf exceeds its bandwidth in the near
future? Will accounts have to be terminated
until the problem is stabilized?

Why not give people an impetus to pursue
'premier memberships', which would allow the
user to upload files without moderation in
exchange for a yearly fee to support the
site? I would be most happy to pay for
a feature such as this (and know my funds
are supporting the community in some way
or another...)

I have a nice collection of files uploaded
to geekshelf already, so this is rather
saddening to me. (don't know how I'll host
these...)
