Thanks a lot for dragging Kevin out of the flames Troy, I couldn’t agree more.
Now, I don’t know what has happened, but we know that BS was a problem for
Kevin, and he may have good reasons for not wanting to continue it.
However from a community-perspective, it’s a cornerstone of our HISTORY, as many
has said, it’s not our own pictures, but those of others that we’ve bookmarked
or linked to - that isn’t avaliable elsewhere, and may never be...
There must
be a gazillion posts and links all over the internet that is totally worthless
right now - and the idea that it should be possible to reupload/fix even a
fraction of these pictures and links one at a time is simply ridiculusly
unrealistic.
So Tim, if you’re reading this:
There’s plenty of other possibilities for hosting pictures, and I can understand
if you have reasons for wanting to get rid of it, but wouldn’t it be possible to
lock it for further uploads and/or turn it over to somebody else?
If it was locked for further uploads and if we could be “sure” that it stayed
up, I imagine that the traffic would gradually drop as people begin to upload
and link to pictures elsewhere - until only the vital traffic caused by
bookmark-browsing for inspiration was left, together with the occasional hits
from somebody reading up on old posts.
Anyways, Even though I’ve hardly uploaded anything to Brickshelf since I got my
own webpage, I’d like to heartily thank you for hosting our pictures for so
long.
I hope you’re well Kevin, and that it’s still possible to find a less
drastic sollution that everybody can live with.
Cheers NB

| This is not directed at Tim, but rather some of the whiners that responed to his post above... When I first saw that BrickShelf was down, I was all gung-ho to see what I could do to help bring it back up. As the host for Classic-Castle, I do have (...)
