Look, I'm just callin it like I see it. About a month after Geekshelf
started up it was flooded with what is, in my opinion, "poorly drawn anime
fan art". This is just my opinion and I'm sticking by it just as much as I
would a comment about beautiful art. (Yeah yeah if you don't have anything
nice to say..blah blah)
I file most of this stuff under the same "noise" category that I reserve for
Bionicle avatars. That's just how I see it. If you or anyone else sees all
the Sci-Fi creations (my particular brand of MOC) on Brickshelf in the same
way, be my guest.
I have not seen your art yet and I still can't becuase (you guessed it)
"This file is not yet public."
Regardless, I'm not giving a second thought to the loss of Geekshelf. It's
Brickshelf (and how we can possibly help it) that the LEGO community should
be concerned about.

| 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)
