Brickshelf.com is not going away, at least not if I can help it.  I am working
with someone to rehost the instruction scans, and they will be in
their new home as soon as we can get them moved and they can get the necessary
permission from LEGO.  I expect the new caretakers will do a better job
than I ever did, and especially better than I have lately.

It is my intent to keep the brickshelf gallery online for the forseeable future,
though performance may be limited and new uploads may be disabled at
some point.

Is there a reason why the major sponsor was lost? Correct me if I'm wrong, but
wasn't The LEGO Group itself sponsoring or co-sponsoring the instruction scans?
Did this loss come with any warning?
