Hi Kevin
You certainly got your message through!
As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m not
personally one of those people that clog up your badwidth, because I have way
too little time surfing for lego, and because I upload most of my pictures to my
own website.
However, on the way home in the train, I went through my webpage
and found 10 pages with links to at least 20 different mocs on brickshelf.
So basically I could look forward to a weekend of downloading pictures of these
mocs and my vast favorite lists (on two computers) to my hard-pressed harddisk,
as well as to several weeks of figuring out a way to host those pictures in a
satisfying manner, changing a large part of my webpage, while trying to organize
the rest of the loot, figure out what I’d missed so I could spend the next one
downloading more - and still miss unbearably many mocs.
And I wouldn’t even
begin to consider the 2000 posts I’ve made on various forums...
Now that you’ve decided to let Brickshelf live, I can do some of the things I’d
hoped to do before all this came up - that the community will benefit from -
like scanning concept art from some really cool comic books that are pretty
unknown in the US, uploading one of my newer mocs (october 22 2006 (!)),
photograph some new mocs for a contest, and having some quality building-time
for a change!
So many, many thanks for letting Brickshelf live so we can all spend our time on
things that bring new value to the community instead of falling over eachother
to save what can be saved.
With the very best wishes
Niels Bugge
PS: Regarding bandwidth, wouldn’t it help a lot if you simply banned
.bmp-files and files above certain dimensions (like 1600 or 1200xN)?

| I have not posted until now because there was too much uncertainty about how (or if) this was going to work out. Due to financial reasons, Brickshelf was no longer in a viable position to continue operating. As our costs are billed monthly, any (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.announce.brickshelf) !!
