    Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Maggie Cambron
   (...) Maybe it's been hacked? I can't imagine he wouldn't have given people a chance to save their images.... :-( Maggie C. (17 years ago, 14-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Ross Crawford
     (...) Actually, I can - it would have swamped his server, big time. It's gonna take ages to fix all the links on my web pages, and that's even WITH backups of all my pics. And that's not to mention all the links I have to other people's pics... oh (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Matthew Crandall
   (...) I'm glad I kept all my pics--but like Maggie, I have a hard time buying into the theory that someone would just shut 'er down with little/no warning. This has to be a hack job...I hope I'm right about this-- Play Well and Prosper, Matthew "The (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Jon Palmer
     (...) Kevin has almost never communicated with the lego community at all and he's barely updated Brickshelf over the years at all. It looked like it was from 1995. I'm not surprised by this move at all. I'm just hoping it really isn't gone or there (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Allister McLaren
     (...) There was a (URL) thread> a couple of years ago where there was a suggestion on BS to transfer all your images to Maj as BS was shutting down, so that should probably have been taken as a warning. Kevin hasn't mentioned anything about it (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
    
         Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —James Michie
      (...) But would anyone trust another of his sites now? Remember he did the same thing with zerostuds.com - suddenly it was just gone. For a site which he must have known a lot of people check daily and was a cornerstone of the Lego community, this (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
    
         Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —John P. Henderson
     (...) Ack! Not a good thread to walk into... ...Unfortunately, it's not just one's own photos being lost (if this is true). I keep copies of my MOC images on CD ROM, and recent ones on my hard drive. But that doesn't save the numerous MOCs of other (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
    
         Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Joseph Williams
     (...) the links issue is really too bad, it's a hard reality of internets life. our viclug site has a links and tools page that is heavy with brickshelf links and it won't be fun updating it. there's a large array of folders locally here that are (...)

         Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Ted Godwin
     (...) I forgot to mention (URL) BrickWiki> is also severely crippled as we were using special templates to link to BS folders and images in a huge number of articles. (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
   
        Re: Problems with Brickshelf? —Ross Crawford
   (...) Well, if I hacked the site, I think I'd put a message slightly more flamboyant than "Brickshelf has discontinued operation. We apologize for any inconvenience". But I am not a h@x0r, so I have no idea what goes on in their heads. ROSCO (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
