True, but I don’t want to have to go through a hundred other sites to find
one cool MOC a day. A centralised place is much better.

This has already happened. More and more, when people get serious about the
online community, they get their own website(1). In order to keep
up-to-date on MOCs, etc, I usually check four or five websites a day.

That’s very unfortunate, though. As Jason pointed out, it’s easy enough to
host your own pictures -- but there are great advantages to having them all
in one place. When I want to find a good idea for making a sofa, for
example, I go to BrickShelf and type in “sofa” (along with “couch” and maybe
“furniture” if I get desperate). That doesn’t work when people host their
pics elsewhere.

I swore not to get into this discussion, but...
I am one of the persons who fall into the catagory of someone who owns their own
LEGO-related website (http://www.humboldt1.com/~hlwells/). I made this site
when I wanted something easier to customize than MOCpages or LUGNET. My site is
mostly a MOC site, containing links to all my MOCs and usually a description
accompanies that MOC. I announce new MOCs on the front page, and archive all my
other MOCs, but I also announce my new MOC to LUGNET, Classic-Castle, and
Classic-Space, depending on the type of MOC. I also host my pictures on
Brickshelf. This way, my MOC gets exposure from a maximum of four different
sites. Though my site has little add-ons like descriptions of my MOCs,
Brickshelf is still the core of my site when it comes to the actual pictures. I
suggest that people who have personal LEGO websites to host their images on
Brickshelf (keeping LEGO-related images centralized), while they feature their
MOCs on their personal sites.
Just my two bricks,

| (...) Well, that's a fine policy, unless BrickShelf is going away (or going to stop accepting new pictures or whatever). Kevin still hasn't been very clear on that. But if it does, then we need to think up a new solution. Best, Joe (19 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
