(...) I knew somebody would offer that argument. Sure, Brickshelf depends upon content, but if Brickshelf weren't around, that content would be scattered across the net, unseen by most. "Merely providing the real estate" Are you serious!? That (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Kevin, Thanks for resonding publicly. I've enjoyed BS for many years now and in the past year or two I have finally gotten around to posting my own MOCs there. I certainly appreciate the service you've provided, and look forward to see what benefits (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-07, to lugnet.general) !!

(...) Actually I have to disagree with you there. The crucial role BS has come to occupy is as an intersection point connecting LUGNET, MOCPages, Blogs, Classic-Castle, EuroBricks, BrickWiki and the dozens of other websites that have chosen (by (...)

(...) Brickshelf became what it is in no small part because of the thousands of people uploading content. Kevin is merely providing the real estate. Why are you surprised that people feel invested in it, and somewhat betrayed by these events? (...) (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX) !

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I figured out the language issue. the donation link from the lugnet.general page brought me to an English version. Also, once there, I noticed there is a language drop-down field at the upper right of the page. (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Hi All: All the hubbub about BS got me thinking... It's been a while since I gave anything to Lugnet. On the forums page here there is a PayPal donation button that I've used at least once before to throw the site an extra ten bucks. My plan was/is (...)

Marc, John is right. I won't even look at MOCs on Flickr. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Flickr is very good for viewing and downloading MOCs. "Marc Nelson Jr." <marcnelsonjr@gmail.com> wrote in message news:JLHsvt.E4y@lugnet.com... (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
