Sean, Firstly, thank you very much for adding image hosting to MOCPages and for automatically pulling over our photos from Brickshelf!

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, (...)
