Why doesn't TLG run a gallery for AFOLs? Yes, there's a (URL) sort of gallery> on LEGO.com, but it's an unbrowsable mess filled with 10-year-olds posting images they stole from Ed Boxer. Have any of the Ambassadors discussed this with the company? I (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) You don't think Brickshelf brought a lot of people into (or back into) the hobby? How much does TLG spend to send two pages of MOC pictures to people all over the world (via the magazine)? Marc Nelson Jr. (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I absolutely won't speculate about TLG intentions on this front. But I would like to point out that comparing a return to the hobby via Brickshelf and the efforts of the LEGO Magazine is an apple and oranges comparison. Those "two pages of MOC (...)

(...) You're absolutely right, Jake, they're quite different. I was just pointing out that TLG probably spends about as much money on that spread as it would running something like Brickshelf. Do you think a "LEGOshelf" gallery site would be a (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Brickshelf, Lugnet, BrickLink, Classic-Castle, Classic-Space, 1000steine, BrickJournal, BrickFest, ILTCO/NMRA, Ldraw and LEGO CAD Tools...

(...) You're right on about a gallery site being outside of TLG's core business. But what if the site wasn't run by TLG, but just funded by it? Actually, if Brickshelf is gone, then this might be the sort of thing that the new, improved LEGOFan.org (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

LEGO already has an image hosting service, but it's for NXT creations only: (URL) is not averse to running something like Brickshelf/MOCpages, but LEGO's version is clearly meant to promote the Mindstorms brand. I would like to see LEGOFan.com or (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
