(...) 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 can't help but wonder what the reaction to $5/month "featured" accounts would have been had it been made a week ago. We may have all learned something of the value of Brickshelf to the community over the last six days. Cheers Richie Dulin (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
