I feel it’s time to step up, provide a catalyst to ensure this never stops
for all of us – continuing the operation of Brickshelf. And not just for
backing up images of personal creations of the website for archival
purposes. That’s not the true value of Brickshelf. It is the ultimate
medium for sharing our ideas, improving the brand, and growing the
community. I ask for you to help, and together, we can turn this scare
into something positive.

Christopher, I agree with your sentiments. I’m not a terribly active AFOL.
Still, I’ve sent $10 via PayPal to Lugnet, and to Brickshelf, and to Peeron. My
son and I have certainly gotten more than our money’s worth from these great
online resources. And we didn’t HAVE to pay anything!
I think that Kevin did us all a great favor by running Brickshelf.
Having said that, I’m not 100% certain that Brickshelf needs to continue in its
present form. Brickshelf is several years old. Since it was created, there has
been an explosion of free web sites which host photos. Is there any obvious
reason to centralize Lego photos? I could host my son’s and my photos at my
ISP, or with Flickr.
If another centralized site for hosting Lego photos is created, and the
community sees value in using it, of course I’ll go along, and I’ll chip in
another $10 or $20. I just want to understand the reasons for re-creating a
Brickshelf clone site before signing on to the idea.

| Hello everyone. While many may not recognize my name, I am a long time AFOL. And while I barely post, I am an active and appreciative member who has watched the Lego community grow from it’s infancy since the mid 90s (wow, I really feel old now). (...)
