Hi, everyone...
With the looming shut-down of Brickshelf, I would like to offer
MOCpages as a safe alternative for everyone to
continue posting their LEGO creations. In light of this, MOCpages now offers
free image hosting.
...
I want to assure you that MOCpages won’t suffer the same fate as Brickshelf.
MOCpages has been covering its costs for a few years now, and I plan on
implementing new revenue streams to keep the site running strong with the new
added services. I’d like to implement a (quota/capped) free hosting service,
coupled with a subscription service for greater (or unlimited) service. (a
la flickr). Right now the new image hosting service is free... but that’s
just because I wanted to get it ready for everyone as quickly as possible! :)
The subscription service will be supplemented with sponsorhip and other
partnerships to keep revenue balanced. LEGO activities are my full time job,
and MOCpages is a major chunk of my business operations. It’s not going
anywhere, and neither am I.

First of all, thank you for providing mocpages.
When I posted my Fisher Building MOC on your site, a person from MichLUG left a
review and that is how I found out about that club of which I am now a member.
I would support your idea of a two tier system similar to flickr.com that would
be free for low to medium resolution images up to a maximum number of MOCs or
photos and a premium service that provides unlimited (or at least more) space.
Without the free entry level tier, many kids would not get started with sharing
their mocs and potentially becoming part of the community. I think that at this
point I have spent enough on Lego that I could spare some money to pay for a
premium service.
Without a solution like yours, the use of flickr or photo bucket would just
result in the disapation of the Lego community in the wider world of photography
no matter how many tags we attach to the pictures.
Thanks for coming to the rescue.
