Hi all,

Some of our club members noticed that it's no longer possible to upload to
Brickshelf.
Anyone any idea whats happening?

Thanks
Ludo

By now I think the intermittent outages and neglect have quite clearly
established that Brickshelf is not a robust and reliable service (ie, it is
dying if not already essentially dead). Unfortunate, but that's my view.

Like any websites, there will be always have problems.  Even Flickr and Mocpages
have some problems or down time.  I believe BrickShelf is still a free site, and
is manage by one person with the help of few people.  So, no BrickShelf is not
dying or dead.  A lot people use both Brickshelf and Maj.com to upload their
images.  Not just LEGO images.

Don't panic other well known LEGO fan sites get hacked or need maintenance.

(...) Just to clarify that I believe that maj.com has been sold and the image sharing site is now at majhost.com. HTH Constantine (15 years ago, 25-Nov-09, to lugnet.general)
