I have been saving some brickshelf folders, from all my friends, coleagues or just some interesting moc's and other stuff I found. It was usual for me to do this before, but now I got a new "boost"... so i saved the following brickshelf pages:

My friends from the 0937 Comunity are also saving brickshelf pages to "save the past" (in this topic)

notice that my intention is "saving the past before it's too late", nothing else... i will respect the copyright from all the pics and their owners.

Just an FYI, I noticed when I was backing up Felix Greco's folder that it only got about half of the files. If you look at his folder, it is two pages. The BSBackup program didn't get the second page. However, I noticed that if you put this string "felixisgr8&n=48" in the "Get By User" field, it will grab the second page of his work. I thought the author of this utility said this was fixed so maybe it is an intermittent bug.

Just an FYI as you might want to go back and verify you are getting multiple pages of the BS folders you are trying to get.

I'm finding that as I look at some of people's picks for great folders to download I am discovering or rediscovering great creations that I have never seen or forgotten about.

It's really getting me excited again about building, in a way I haven't been for a couple of years.

This has been a terrible year for me with regard to Lego due to work and family contraints, but as I look at all these amazing thigns I am getting an uncontrollable urge to build something. Sadly, except for my keychain related stuff I almost never photograph anything I build because I always think it's crap compared to what the really good builders make, so I have basically no record of all the stuff I built in the past 7 years since I came out of my dark ages.

Anyone else feeling the same way? Feeling the urge to go build something worthy of putting up?

[Iron Moose]

I can't see a single BS folder - everything I'm clicking on is 'not yet public'. What's up with that?

[gylman]

Yep, I'm getting the same thing. I suspect that the traffic resulting from all these downloads is overwhelming the server, and the operator has shut things down for a while. Just a speculation.... I could be totall wrong.

EDIT: People at classic space are reporting similar problems.

[Hobbes]

You can access single galleries through their number, like this, but you can't access them via member name, like this.

Same goes for BSBackup.

Hopefully that'll change, I don't have all the numbers I need :-(

[Wolf02]

hello all, i'm trying to download Legomaster, junlego and PepaQuin galleries

i have already about 8000 files downloaded, but when i was dlding these galleries, brickshelf closed the access to the member galleries, do you have the ID numbers of the folders of these galleries?

(and if possible there's a way to change the visible name for my account? i wanted 01 not 02, but is dark and with hurry it happened to be 02 :) )

Same goes for BSBackup.

A download utility, free for download here. Extract and start, no installation needed.

[gylman]

Well, right now nothign is working for me at all, not even the BS home page.

Have you been downloading heavily??? If so Kevin probably blocked your IP adres, just like he did to my main IP address, as well as 2 others hosts that I was using to proxy (for the fact that my main IP was blocked). I must say though, that my main IP already has been unblocked.

He may not be blocking IP addresses as much as the site's bandwidth is simply being exceeded. If he's tired of the site, I have a hard time believing he's sitting there nailing down IP addresses of people who are downloading and blocking them. The site's service is going to be intermittent in it's death throes. An entire community is frantically downloading from it. Just be patient as it will be up and down.

Unless I'm wrong and he just shut it down early. In that case you can tell me where to go, huh? :-$

[gylman]

It seems hard to believe that he is selectively blocking IPs, but I imagine a script could be written for this.

I would imagine that the bandwidth BS has been using in the last couple of days is incredible.

[Dryw Filtiarn]

I'm quite sure that he has been blocking my IP address previously (as mentioned, it's unblocked again) as I simply could not get onto Brickshelf nor Maj.com, while at the same time I could access them from elsewhere.

Mr Hobbes, I'm afraid the links you've posted are both unaccesable by the moment, as almost the rest of the ones posted in this forum.

Nevertheless, the ones I have accessed are just magnifique!! I am very very sad :'-( about brickshelf's shutdown, there's gotta be a way of sharing this terrific ideas in the future!!

By the moment, let's celebrate the old days!! :-D

[gylman]

I have to agree- the Brickshelf crisis has made me look at so many amazing Lego creations that it is really inspiring. It's a silver lining in the cloud of this sad event.

I love this stuff *wub* :

well i made a topic like this (seen here and i would like to nominate this topic for a pin. I hate searching brickshelf and this could be a very useful tool.

FLICKR! X-D

Truthfully... I'm loving that site. I was forced to peruse it during BS's downtime... and it's grown on me.

And so much more there than just Lego.

I'll still save my stuff to BS as usual, but now I'm deeplinking new images I put in topics from Flickr, as it's more reliable. And best of all, you can actually figure out easily how to donate to Flickr, though you don't have to.

Brickshelf just needs that. A bigass donate button with the text under it "Site is ailing for funds. Help out, please?".

[Hinckley]

FLICKR! X-D

I meant if I was wrong, you could tell me to go to hell. Way to misquote me two months after I said something :-|

:-P

But I agree with you *sweet* Flickr is a great alternative to the perpetual poop factory that BS has been lately. Anyone have a clear idea of what is going on over there?

[Corvus]

the perpetual poop factory

Ew.. I'd hate to work there. :-X :-P :-| No idea what's happening there. Whatever it is, it's probably going to take a while. "AFOL KARMA" I think it's called...

I haven't tried Flickr. Probably because I have to sign up to *shudder* yahoo. :-X I don't like Yahoo. Why? It keeps polluting my computer with it's junk, even when I tell them I don't want it. :-/
