(and if you > know what that means you're a software geek!) It sounds like we really need a good policy description of what is and is not allowed. I was under the impression that in the past, at least small amounts of personal stuff were allowed (as they help illustrate the person who's LEGO or geeky pictures are there). Right now, I'm wondering if I will ever bother uploading to Brickshelf or Geekshelf in the future. There just seems to be too much uncertainty. I suppose I'll be looking for new places to host my pictures, or perhaps I'll just not bother. Sorry if the above sounds like a bit of a rant, but I'm really frustrated with how this has been handled. I have not seen an adequate description of what happened to provoke this and/or what the new policy is. Larry is about the only person who has publicized that he is a moderator (ok, I think Dan Boger has mentioned moderating also, and of course I assume Kevin is doing moderating). Sadly, what I am seeing overall, is a fracturing of our community. I hear more and more folks being frustrated by one or another posting war on Lugnet, and now the Brickshelf issues. Right now, for myself, I am spending more and more of my energy on local activities (I will be at BrickFest this year, but I'm teetering on the edge of organizing things). I probably should set follow ups to someplace, but I don't know. I probably shouldn't even post this. Frank

(...) You might have a point. This has suddenly become a full time activity, and is taking alot of time away from other (paying) work. Maybe I should just shut the gallery down to save everyone the trouble of fussing over what's on-topic and allow (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

(...) Well put. I think cars can be geeky even if you haven't done unusual things to them. (like some of the tricked out Audis on that one page are) I once had 8 cars under my control (7 that I had title to and one that I just had custody of) but (...)
