Troy, something like this doesn't have to be either black or white, one side or
the other. Brickshelf can be awesome because it's free and a good resource and
it can also suck because it wasn't really ever improved and *especially* because
it just went away with no warning at all.
I really like that Brickshelf was free. I like that Kevin provided this service.
I'm also allowed to not like that it wasn't updated and Kevin didn't maintain
much of a relationship with the community. I also do not like that he has
apparently just thrown everyone's images out with no warning at all.
