Interesting idea! I'll check it out tonight.

You know, I was thinking that it might be smart for all of us to do some
spring cleaning on our Brickshelf galleries. I'd be willing to bet that we
all have some extraneous images in our galleries that don't really serve any
purpose in being online. Every little bit helps, right?

I personally don't like it when people clean out their galleries.  What you
think is unimportant might be something really cool to me.  I'm getting in
the habit of saving pictures of stuff I like, but usually I just bookmark the
link. Right now 20% of my Brickshelf bookmarks don't work because the owner
deleted the picture.

I also like having my old crappy MOCs available to show my evolution as a
builder.  Anyone can go to be Bshelf gallery and see how aweful my early MOCs
were, and hopefully learn from my mistakes.

I personally think that the 2400x1600 pictures should go - or be resized.
One 2400x1600 picture is equivalent to four normal sized pics - they use up
as much space and bandwidth as legitimate sized photos.  Even if there is a
legitimate reason for having a huge picture (like up close detail) - if it is
that important to you, you can use another image hosting service or pay for a
web server.

Yeah, valid points. And I'm not really talking about cleaning out good stuff, or
even ugly stuff. But upon inspection of my gallery, I may discover that I have 4
photos of basically the same shot. 3 of those could go away easily.

(...) IMHO another thing that I forgot to mention that gulps down a lot of space are pictures of official LEGO sets. I have got no idea why this is REALLY neccessary , since, if you want to inventory your collection, you've already got LUGNET, AND (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
