backstory, it doesn’t mean that others share your same inclination, witness
the dozens of similar story-MOC sites. Are they likewise pointless to people
other than their authors? Of course, but that’s not the purpose of them. When
I post my MOCs I do indeed provide direct links to brickshelf, not just the
site. So, politely once again, what exactly is wrong with making a website?

I never said backstory was pointless or even brought that up. I’m not sure where
you’re going exactly but I’ll go with it.
Here’s how it is: If you don’t have some great MOCs to begin with no one reads
your stories. Even then most people skip the story if it’s longer than a
paragraph. I’d like to see a show of hands for those who disagree with this. Ok
that one guy over there sorta raised his hand.
But we’re getting sidetracked. I never made a comment on stories to begin with.
This is about web design. Your website is for your lego creations. Don’t bury
them. They should be accessible with just a few clicks from the splash. Your
site (and others like them) is so confusing that I normally hit “back” when the
splash loads.
And after all this don’t just link to brickshelf or even BSV for the gallery.
That’s just bad and confusing.

You should at the very least link to BSV.
Brickshelf is horrid enough on it’s own, much less jumping out at you on a
website.
|
This seems slightly faster than brickshelf, and the interface is somewhat
superior, but other than that, if I’m simply linking to a folder, what’s the
point? 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?
|
“Somewhat superior”
Bram created a better interface with BSV in a weekend than Kevin did with
Brickshelf in like 5 years. Kevin is clearly a good guy and brickshelf is cool
because it’s free but that’s where it stops.
Anyway. You’ve been around a long time and I hope you stick around for longer.
I’m replying to your post cuz I really feel that way.
