I hate to say it but this site is more or less dead to me now. I never check
the recent additions anymore. I never upload anything to it now (and I'm
considering revising my website so it doesn't point to anymore images
there). I honestly don't even like to follow links to it now. I tend to
cringe when I see the brickshelf url in a link.

It really is a shame. I always considered brickshelf to be one of the
foundations of the online LEGO community. Before anyone responds to me and
tells me that "this is a free service" or whatever, realize that I know
this. I just think it would be nice to at least get some sort of response
from Kevin.

You are right, Jon. People need to realize that "free" is relative anyway. Sure, Kevin did a great deed in setting up the site and helping to build the community. However, it is part of a community, and it looses most of its value if the community (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Funny, I really don't have any problems. Large pictures come slowly, and some people upload BMP's (KL, an idea could to to convert to the JPGs). BMPs take years to see, but for normal sized pictures (I prefer max 800x600) come at a normal speed. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) untill he had to start moderating anything that goes into it. I hate to say it, but brickshelf is beginning to lose favor with me too. *sniff* (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
