xwingyoda Posted July 16, 2007 Darn. I forgot that. :'-( I just had a quick browse and noticed that most reviews are missing pictures now. Silly me assumed that admins had a lot of local server space and stored them here... Actually I can upload reviews directly BUT when the system is full, there will be a big wave of pic deletion like last time ;-) So its definitly NOT a good solution ;-) *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on people, try to be positive !! First its NOT the end of the world and we will always find some replacement if the BS "issue" is not solved !!

Kevin Posted July 16, 2007 Hi everyone! I joined here to try to be in touch with the community throughout this process. What I'm doing is moving all of the photos to a new and improved site that I've been working on for a while. I'll try to let you guys know whenever I have more information. Sorry there was not more notice. I was hoping to have this up and running by the end of BrickShelf but I've encountered a few snags. ~ Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gamorreaner Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks a lot for the information. I hope with the "they will not be supported by the new site in their current format'' you mean that they will be resized or something like this :) . This would be really great because the bigger files need very long to load on my computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Thrawn Posted July 16, 2007 I hate to say it but I'm unsure if this is really Kevin. I'm really not trying to be mean but this contact is a little out of character (although it's very possible that he, you, have changed) or it could be someone capitalising on our hopes to get a laugh. I for one hope it is you, Kevin, and I hope you're not offended by my wariness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I for one hope it is you, Kevin, and I hope you're not offended by my wariness. I'm afraid I must agree, and I too, apologize to you, Kevin, if it's really you. However the fact that Eurobricks is the only website to get this announcement, and no mention of it was made on Lugnet, makes this user suspect in my eyes. As much as the admins of Eurobricks would like it to be the center of the LEGO universe ;), Kevin has a much longer history with Lugnet and, I think, would have posted there first, or have someone like Jennifer Boger do it for him. --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
