Thanks a lot for dragging Kevin out of the flames Troy, I couldn’t agree more.
Now, I don’t know what has happened, but we know that BS was a problem for
Kevin, and he may have good reasons for not wanting to continue it.
However from a community-perspective, it’s a cornerstone of our HISTORY, as many
has said, it’s not our own pictures, but those of others that we’ve bookmarked
or linked to - that isn’t avaliable elsewhere, and may never be...
There must
be a gazillion posts and links all over the internet that is totally worthless
right now - and the idea that it should be possible to reupload/fix even a
fraction of these pictures and links one at a time is simply ridiculusly
unrealistic.
So Kevin, if you’re reading this:
There’s plenty of other possibilities for hosting pictures, and I can understand
if you have reasons for wanting to get rid of it, but wouldn’t it be possible to
lock it for further uploads and/or turn it over to somebody else?
If it was locked for further uploads and if we could be “sure” that it stayed
up, I imagine that the traffic would gradually drop as people begin to upload
and link to pictures elsewhere - until only the vital traffic caused by
bookmark-browsing for inspiration was left, together with the occasional hits
from somebody reading up on old posts.
Anyways, Even though I’ve hardly uploaded anything to Brickshelf since I got my
own webpage, I’d like to heartily thank you for hosting our pictures for so
long.
I hope you’re well Kevin, and that it’s still possible to find a less
drastic sollution that everybody can live with.
Cheers NB

| (...) First, Kevin, you've cost me thousands of dollars. If it weren't for Brickshelf I'd probably be off doing some boring hobby. Brickshelf was one of the hooks that drew me in and I'm very glad to be here. For this, I thank you. Second, as I sit (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)

| This is not directed at Tim, but rather some of the whiners that responed to his post above... When I first saw that BrickShelf was down, I was all gung-ho to see what I could do to help bring it back up. As the host for Classic-Castle, I do have (...)
