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)?

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 pictures” are things created and submitted by kids,
most under the age of 13. Brickshelf required you be older than 13, with the
median age (I’m confident) being well into the 20s or older.
Again, I have no idea what TLG plans may or may not exists, and that’s not
the point of my post. I just wanted to make sure that we don’t start down a
path of discussion that’s not worthwhile.

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 worthwhile investment for
TLG? It just seems to me like a cheap and easy way for the company to support
the hobby, but then I’ve never been on the inside. Didn’t TLG contribute to
Brickshelf at some point, or was that just LUGNET?
