You have said that old postings on MOCpages that use Brickshelf for image
hosting will automatically have the images copied to MOCpages and the pages
updated to use your hosting. Two questions about this:
1. Is this still true, now that Kevin has given a reprieve for Brickshelf?
2. What happens if someone posts a NEW entry on MOCpages that references
Brickshelf? Will it copy the images in that case as well?

Yes. There are about 130,000 images that were linked to Brickshelf from all the
pages on MOCpages. I’ve now copied all 130,000 of them over to MOCpages and
they’ll be linked to your pages very soon.
This applies to all the images that were linked via the “main photo” or if you
pointed your page to a brickshelf gallery, (and/or adding captions to those
photos). If, however, you used HTML in your pages to embed pictures with <img>
tags you’ll have to find those images and save them manually. I’d actually like
to parse through, find them all, and save them also -- but given the initial
2-week deadline I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough time.

No, the copying process was a one-time thing. I’d reccomend you use MOCpages’
new image uploader going fowards. You can always manually link to images (with
HTML <img> tags) to Brickshelf (or Photobucket, or flickr, or wherever else)
but you do so at your own risk. :)
