A big "me to" here. It is really a sad thing to see happen. Not only was it slow when you first brought up this topic, but I feel it is worse now. I feel it may be a result of lack of $$$ which means less bandwith. KL, just ask and I know you shall (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

You know, this is sounding like a really good idea! I see something a lot like how Lugnet is working, where you can have posting abilities w/o membership, but no added benefits. and benefits could include loading w/o moderation (and if someone does (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

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.

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)

The speed -or lack thereof- of Brickshelf wouldn't have anything to do with high-trafic sites using Brickshelf for all their picture content?
