It says nothing of the sort. As a JLUG admin we had a similar decision to make
very recently, and chose the same path. We had no obligation to warn anyone,
even though we had a picture gallery with pics people may not have kept a copy
of. That's just the way things go sometimes. Heck, I even helped Kevin with
monetary support on a couple of occasions and I still don't feel I had any right
to expect a warning.
While I will miss Brickshelf as a resource, and just the occasional random
browse, my main issue is fixing my pages that relied on it. But I should never
have relied on it, so that's my fault anyway, not Kevin's.
And like Troy said, the best thing is to do something instead of just
complaining - the JLUG regulars had a new forum up within hours, and chat within
a few days. And people here called them community misfits.
