Recent events have put the issue of image hosting in the spotlight. There are
a lot of choices out there, from popular sites like Brickshelf and MOCpages
to newer sites like MOCShow, YouBrick, BrickImage, and even commercial,
non-LEGO sites like Flickr. All of these sites provide an invaluable service
to the LEGO fan community - a place to host your images.
The LEGO Ambassadors would like to ask you for your input on what you would
want from an image-hosting site:
- What would make for the “ideal” image-hosting site for LEGO fans?
|
a simple interface like brickshelf. sign in, upload, done.
| |
- What type of features/services would you like to see on such a site?
|
- the ablity to change folder names not just discriptions
- have an account with user information “I.E. real name, city, state, age, club affiliations” that can be made public if desired.
- the abblity for the site to email users for important announcments
- the ablity to add a very short descrition to individual photos after a bulk upload is complete.
- auto resizing to no larger than800x1200
- simple image tags like brickshelf has.
- the ablity to tag individual images as, town, train, space, castle, exc. instead of just galleries.
| |
- How much would you be willing to pay for these services, if free image hosting was not an option?
|
i’m not opposed to $5 a month for uploading privlages but veiwing/saving files
should remain free.

Note: This post is not intended to start a debate about which existing image
hosting website is better. As fellow LEGO fans, we just want to ask you for
your thoughts and ideas regarding the viewing and showcasing of your LEGO
creations. These ideas will not be forwarded to The LEGO Group, who have
publicly and clearly stated that they will not own, nor run such a service.
Your comments will be available here for others in the community to view -
and hopefully utilize - in building and improving image hosting sites for all
LEGO fans.
