After clicking through a dozen pages I just end up on brickshelf to view MOCs. So I ask politely...what is the point of the website?

I decided to give my MOCs a backstory, pointless perhaps, but I don’t really care. Politely, just because you don’t personally like to give your MOCs a backstory, it doesn’t mean that others share your same inclination, witness the dozens of similar story-MOC sites.

The only true advantages that I see to BSV are the slideshow and resize features. What exactly do you mean by “jumping out”? The new window that appears when you click a link to pictures?
