| It would have been nice if only the accounts of people who didn't donate money to Brickshelf were gone. I imagine that doing that would have reduced the number of files on the site to about 1% of what it was. As a Brickshelf member who donated to (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)

| I'm not sure where to post this in this thread, so I'm just going to throw it out there.
