I believe that MOCpages can’t yet host certain LEGO-related non-image type
files that BS presently hosts. Fortunately with this nice discussion here
Sean should have a good idea of what people would like to be able to host
there.

True enough, but it seems that he has a pretty good handle on that already,
and if not, he seems like a pretty capable fellow and can ask himself
without the aid of the Ambassadors.

I suspect the Ambassadors may already have been in contact with Sean BICBW
|
I’m sure they were a great help.

I merely meant he hasn’t asked me (or anyone else for that matter afaik)
about my choice regarding paying for BS.
|
Surely this current exercise is useful for gauging what and how much public
interest in an alternative to BS would be. Kevin didn’t ask but Nelson did.

We’ve kinda split the discussion here. I’m discussing the side comment you made:
“I think you made it clear you weren’t happy paying (what was asked) for BS in
its current state, isn’t it better to for someone to at least find out why? ”
which I really think is Kevin’s job, not Neslon’s, nor the Ambassadors for whom
he speaks.
As for gauging interest in a BS alternative, I think it should be up to whoever
sets one up to do their own market research. Since it would appear that neither
Nelson nor the Ambassadors are proposing to set one up, it all seems a little
pointless, especially now it appears that a BS alternative won’t be necessary.
I’m not saying he shouldn’t have posted the question here - it’s not like
pointless posts are a rarity around here or anything. I just took issue with
Nelson’s somewhat combatative tone in reply to Thomas, vis “Feel free to live
with the status quo for image hosting. We, as fellow LEGO fans, refuse to do
so.” Firstly, there’s nothing wrong with accepting the status quo, if the
status quo serves your purposes. Secondly, it seems that they’re not actually
doing anything about the status quo either, which seems a tad hypocritical. I’m
always happy to be proven wrong though, hence my question, which I’ll restate to
avoid getting any further off track. What do the LEGO Ambassadors propose to
actually do?
