  Re: Update news on BrickShelf.com
 
(...) I guess my greatest concern is that not enough members actually pony up the cash. We could easily end up back at square one six months from now. Brickshelf has accepted donations in the past with limited success. What's to say that this (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I think cutting off free access would be kinda harsh. But I could definitely see restricted access -- limited resolution on files, etc. Steve (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Update news on BrickShelf.com
 
(...) I'm kind of worried about that myself. If generating revenue was a problem, I'm not sure how this will help given that users can still opt for a free, non-premium account.

Kevin, Our LUG (The Hungarian LUG) was still in the process of collecting signatures for a Thank You note we wanted to send to zou to express our appreciation for running BrickShelf. This is how we worded it: "Dear Kevin, Thank You for running (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
