Kevin, it's really good to hear from you, but please don't shock us like that

Some thoughts and suggestions:
Remember you don't have to shoulder all the burden of running Brickshelf
yourself - if it's becoming difficult then send out a call for assistance and
hopefully it could be moved to another server with a larger admin team. There
are a lot of people out there willing to do what they can to help.
Brickshelf is goldmine of freely-given content - there must be some way other
than banner ads and a few paid registrations to turn that in to a profit. Ask
for suggestions - printed instructions of MOCs / t-shirts / whatever.
When a free user uploads a picture larger than 1024 pixels (wide or high) it
could be scaled down to 1024 pixels to save server space and bandwidth. There's
no need for pictures to be any bigger, and there do seem to be a lot of images
which are just uploaded straight from the camera at over 3000 pixels wide.
There must be more simple changes that could be made, but anyway, the main thing
is thanks for posting. James.
