I dont know about other AFOLs, but right now I have very little trust in
Brickshelfs continued viability, and certainly not enough to give you $60 a

I have faith in Brickshelf; enough to pay $60/year. So at least now you know
about one AFOL....

I dont expect to get things for free

Really? Looks to me like you never ever bothered to contribute to
Brickshelf. Why not? Maybe because it was free?

I just spent $25 to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account. I do expect that if I spend money on a service, that it
will be there when I need it. How do we know you arent going to shut
Brickshelf down again without any communication?

Have fun with Flickr. I dare you to take down your BS account. But if you
do, have fun in MOC obscurity.

Why havent I contributed to Brickshelf? The owner has threatened to shut it
down several times (this last time without any notice), does not respond to
emails or posts, and can shut it down again at any time without consulting
anyone. It just never seemed like a good use of my money.
I have donated to LUGNET, which is run by more than one person, and which has
always communicated with its users. The same goes for Flickr. True, both of
these services may shut down at any time, but I have faith that they would
consult with their users first. And I could have freeloaded on both of those
services, but I had faith in the products and their operators.
What, I should take my Brickshelf account down just to prove how valuable I am
to the world? Great idea, but someone just pulled the same stunt a couple days
ago...

| Marc, John is right. I won't even look at MOCs on Flickr. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Flickr is very good for viewing and downloading MOCs.
