Wow, that came as a total surprise, and it's very well done! :thumbup:

I'd also give it 5 strawberries, if I understood why exactly strawberries are the fruit of choice here. :pir_laugh2:

Nice interview, very informative about our site policies and about the site itself. Love this classic Hinckley line, too:

The Brothers Brick said:

TBB: Are you trying to change that reputation?

Mark: Yup yup.


Anyway, a nice interview to advertise the awesomeness of this fantastic community! Five strawberries from me as well. :thumbup:

Eurobricks is 'The Wild One' and Hinckley is Marlon Brando :tongue:

I understand and respect the rules about leaked images and its great that EB is cultivating a healthy relationship with TLG, but I don't understand why The Brothers Brick mentions EB's history in this context. They themselves posted the leaked Power Miners shots as recently as last September after they were taken down from here as I recall (and a quick search of their blog proves me right) so am I missing something???

Nice interview. Posted Image

Personally, one of the reasons I originally registered here (aside from the friendly community and the wide variety of themes covered) was in fact the "leaker reputation." Despite any changes that have taken place, EB still seems to be one of the more unbiased/non-fanboy sites when it comes to that issue.

Nice interview! It's great they started their Interview feature with EB :wub: ; even if it seems they intended more to underline the past leakers' story than to focus on the other aspects of our community...

Five strawberries out of five from me too (or is it time to change to someother fruit? :tongue: ).

I joined EB due to the leak stuff, but it was indirectly unlike maybe some other people.

You can guess what I'll give this. That's right, upping Copmike's 5 out of 5, I'm giving this the Golden Strawberry Teacher Award! :tongue:

Great interview, I enjoyed reading it and finding out some new things. :thumbup:

Interesting interview, especially with being a relative newcomer to the site. I didn't realise that EB had a "leaker" reputation!

I enjoy the discussion here most of all - I spend a lot more time reading than commenting!

Strange that the article about Eurobricks on TBB talks about the new policy against leaks when there's a (potential) leak right there on the main page.

Hmm...

I can see how you would think that. Here we have a picture posted by a member from another source. There's no "confidential" stamp on it and it doesn't appear to be photographed from an illegal source. If TLG contacted us and asked us to take it down, it would be removed immediately & unfortunately, some time ago, that wasn't always the case. Perhaps this should be run by Steve Witt...

Nice to see you BTW. It's not often we see you stop by and I love your trains. :wub:

EDIT: Aha. Thanks for the tip, Tony. They did indeed request it be take down, which it has been.
