(...) Well, MOCpages will allow you to UPLOAD bmp files, but it will convert them to JPGs for web viewing. No sense making the site's traffic go up (and your wait time go down)! Sean - - MOCpages admin www.mocpages.com (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

This is something I was hoping would happen as a result of the discontinuation of Brickshelf. I for one would gladly pay to use MOC pages -- although my concern is that that would make it difficult for kids to use the site. As for the MOC comments, (...)

Hey Sean, I've got a question about ads. Do you gain revenue every time I log onto the site and see the ad, or do I actually have to click on it? If the latter, I think we in the community could make the very minor commitment to click on ads when we (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jul-07, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
