I would MUCH rather see a paid subscription service, than to see Brickshelf
succumb to corporate sponsors. Especially if they're sponsors that have
nothing to do with the LEGO hobby. Please Kevin, allow users to pay you
something like $10/yr, and in exchange view NO ads, and be able to view all
folders (even unmoderated ones).
I want my web browsing experience to NOT contain advertising. While I can
filter out 98% of them, I don't think I can filter out text ads, except
based on the URL they link to. Brickshelf would lose a LOT of value for me
if it contained text ads, where I can easily filter out image ads.
