First, I have to wonder why it is that we are hearing this type of news from you instead of Kevin. I don’t mean to insult, but he has been conspicuously silent on the closure of Brickshelf. I little information for the community to chew on would be nice.

Duane-

You heard it from me because I posted first. :) This was public knowledge at the time I posted. Past history will show that postings from Brickshelf directly are few and far between.

   Second, since you seem to have some contact with Kevin, is a question. Would Kevin be willing to turn over the data on his servers to another party? I’m less concerned with decentralization of community photos than I am with the HUGE loss of archived historical and building references that go with Brickshelf. If the pegged bandwidth this week has been any indication, he will realize that the community is loath to lose it.

Please! A little communication! Let us (the community) know what can be done so that this resource is not lost and can be properly archived.

No one wants this resource to be lost, however I cannot speak to what Kevin is or is not willing to do, that’s a question for him.

I know it’s incredibly hard to have patience when each day brings 7/31 closer, but until we know more, we’ll all just have to sit on the edges of our seats. Once we know more, we can try and put some plans into action.
