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
have a dedicated server and excess bandwidth, so some help could have been
provided.
Now, after seeing the reaction here and elsewhere, I am rapidly starting not
to care if you whiney vultures ever get your photos back.
Kevin provided a basically free service to everyone for YEARS. Everyone used
it without much thought tot he costs involved. Sure, he could have handled
this latest episode better, but for now none of us know the circumstances
involved. I know that *I* would certainly have grown tired of supporting a
site for a bunch of ungrateful users.
And as for the supposed “Lego Community”? Useless. Instead of being a true
community and banding together to help save a pillar of the community, what to
we get? Personal attacks on Kevin and a bunch of whining.
Do something or quit your complaining.

Absolutely. We were all guests at his house, if you will. At some point the
party is over and he has a right to turn out the lights and send us home. I see
nothing wrong with his decision. I’m saddened by it, there was lots of
inspiration on the site, but I am viewing it as a challenge now because I have
seen some excellent ideas that I was going to try to duplicate but now I have
to work to create it myself. I see lots of criticism here, and I remember
similar groans over the loss of the instruction gallery a couple of years ago,
but again few people offered to take over the reins. I see mostly people
yelling “foul” or personal offense.
