What gives is that this is Kevin Loch we’re talking about. Use Flickr.
Brickshelf is a waste of time and energy.

Show some respect and exercise some restraint. Sheesh.

Respect, what for?
Kevin has disrespected the LEGO community for years. He rarely if ever
replies to any inquiries about the site, has not added any new features in
years, and then suddenly threatens to pull the plug this summer. Now he is
suppsedly going to launch a new subscription service, but there has been
nary a peep for months.
Clearly he has no interest in actually making money off the site, or
providing a useful service to the LEGO community.

No interest in providing a useful service?
...apart from the providing free image hosting, unlimited accounts, unlimited
access to images, unlimited directories, thumbnails, fast moderation,
unobtrusive moderation, deeplinks (even before moderation) and searching,
what useful service has Kevin ever provided for us?
|
Once upon a time, it was a very special and unique thing to offer free image
hosting. Once upon a time Kevin was a regular participant on LUGNET and an
active member of the AFOL community. And once upon a time, Brickshelf was a
state of the art Web application.
Those days are long gone. There are tons of better sites where you can host
images, and Kevin posts once every few years, usually with bad news.
Several people have attempted to contact him to offer to help in various ways,
from helping with the software to buying him out, and he never responds.
I don’t think he’s evil, I honestly think he’s probably just procrastinating,
but in the meantime what was once a great service to the AFOL community has
become an embarrassment.
