I completely agree with John’s last point - I’d hit the ‘recent updates’
link on Brickshelf a couple times a day.

And it appears that the mass migration is on! If you go to maj.com, its
recent pages are filled with LEGO MOCs...

Am I the only one that’s a bit nervous about about a mass migration to
maj.com? If a mass migration happens, the maj.com bandwidth shoots through
the roof and Kevin is once again facing overwhelming bandwidth costs. If this
happens, does he shut down that site too, thus leaving everyone in the same
spot they’re in now? Generally, we don’t know if the issue is that Kevin is
done hosting anything or only done hosting brickshelf.com.
Without any communication from Kevin on this matter, I’d be hesitant to rush
to migrate to maj.com. But perhaps that’s just me.

I also agree until we find out something from Kevin, moving files, correcting
links, and stressing over lost pictures is all worthless, we all just need to
take a breath and wait to hear something.
It is obvious that Brickshelf has evolved into more then a free web site for a
small corner of the internet. It has morphed into an endless free sharing of
designs techniques and models of any thing LEGO.
For what ever the reason for the current outage I feel the LEGO community has
more than enough history and work involved in Brickshelf that we need to make
sure we have this site for the future, in any form.
I enjoy going to one site and seeing nothing but LEGO, I fear that with out
Brickshelf in the future many of the works of others will be lost in the
internet fog. I love the recent folders as I know I can see everything that gets
uploaded. Searching is hard but that’s because most people do not name the
pictures or add a search string to the folder.
Hopping for the return of the one and only Brickshelf!

FYI,
Mentioned years ago and a backup solution was made, new version works on MAJ.com
(what does MAJ stand for ?)

| (...) It took me a few weeks from first hearing the name to figure it out, but it's a trademarkable spelling of the second syllable of the word "image". Not pronounced quite the same, but clearly the source of the word. (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
