Kevin-
I'm terrifically sorry that you lost your job, but I (like others)
know full well that even that won't keep you down. It was pretty
obvious some time ago that Brickshelf couldn't stay free forever,
so that part wasn't exactly a shock.
For those who would like to donate to Brickshelf *now*, free and
clear, can you provide a PayPal address to which we may send said
donations? Also, I'd be happy to pay a fee for anything hosted.
I'd be most in favor of a middle ground between "ad-happy" and
"all members only"--a fee to hold space on the site, and a few well-
chosen ads such as, for example, the ones Larry mentioned he wants
to buy on the site. That would probably generate more revenue than
casino-ish popups, because the market is much better targeted, and
would also be less onerous (and really a help to some navigators).
Hopefully TLC will allow you to keep the scans on the site, though
I'm not sure how the finances would work out. It's probably too
much to hope that TLC would subsidize it without taking away the
independence of Brickshelf.
Here's to the future--may it be bright!
best
