TLG should buy Brickshelf, and give it the bandwidth it needs.  They

NOOOOO.

You don't want TLC to buy BrickShelf. Why? You think there is moderation

On the other hand, TLC could (and does) support BrickShelf.

Yea, so, of course, you are probably right.  There is a huge potential for
them to muck it all up.  I guess I just dream of it being well supported, as
well as being a strong community for sharing our Lego projects.

I think TLG has the resources to do some fairly cool things, but probably
they have no backbone for it.  The tendency would be for them to tightly
control it, as Kevin has started to do.  I do prefer your method of looser
control by Kevin, replaced by a community policing standard.  However, I
imagine Kevin's life precludes him from devoting the many hours needed to
implement such a thing.
