Talk to the Star Wars Moderators and Regulators

[JCC1004]

I doubt it.

The upload feature has been gone for quite a while now.

I think using gmail's picasa might be a solution.

You get a fair amount of space and all you need is to register an email account.

And it works wonders with Picasa3

There's a lot of work ahead for Lego fourms everywhere. I switched to Flickr after Brickshelf's previous crash. A lot of (good) reviews done by members that have left will never be restored. They're the only ones who have the images saved on their computers. The indexes are a mess. I hope EB can recover. I do have one question, why does everyone use Brickshelf rather then other hosting sites? The pictures have to be moderated be fore made public. Is this off-topic? It really doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars. All we can do is Hope.

I have a Star Wars related question. Do you prefer the Rebel Alliance over the Imperials? I just noticed how your kick-@$$ moderator logo has the Alliance anchor.

Its realy terrible how brickshelf is down and I feel it probably wont get back up for a while. I really hope everyone pitches in with a rebuild of the review index if brickshelf dies for good. I already have a flickr account so I will probably start using that now for storing lego photos.

[KimT]

Yes I prefer the Rebel Alliance and it also seems as if BS is back on-line.

I can't access it, but the pics are working again.

[Big Cam]

Not all the pics, alot of the EB files are still mising, like tags and the reviewers academy logo, I had in my sig.

Yay another Alliance fan! IT looks like it's acting up again.

KimT, there is a problem with the 8018 Separatist AAT picture in the review index. I would highly recommend checking it out

..Or it´s an AAT in disguise, and Yoda dressed up as Vader.

Thanks and fixed.

Someone asked me at some point to include the MOCs from Watto's Junkyard in our MOC Index.

It's part of the plan for the future of the MOC Index to include MOCs posted in contests - the workload is a little heavy right now, so please have some patience - it'll happen.

I'm guessing those will go in a seperate space in the index labeled as 'Contests,' (or something like that) or will they just be mixed in with all of the other MOCs and categories?

[KimT]

Separate part of the the index.

That would be awesome, but wow, that's a giant task. Would you have little thumbnail pics like we do for regular reviews??

I know those wouldn't be readily available so I'm thinking it'd be pretty hard.

[KimT]

Quite a few of the contests already have their own indexes with thumbnails, so it's actually a question of copy/paste plus resizing images for MOCs without thumbs.

It's some work, which is why I haven't said when it'll happen

[KimT]

Review Index and Forum Index updated.

Next up is the MOC Index

I knew I shouldn't have left it unattended for so long...

[sok117]

could you maybe add my custom general grevious to the moc index?

[Forresto]

Could youd do my Grievous too? Pretty please ? Link

sorry about that but my main question I wanted to ask is, 'How do you get that little phrase under your avatar?'

This is something that has eluded me for many months.

I've also wondered how you get those small tags under your avatar and info? I know that some are given by mods, but somtimes some people have custom ones it seems they put under it themselves.

Titles and Tags are handed out by the staff.

Titles are given as jokes or something like that - and the best way to get them is by not asking for one.

Tags are given as rewards for either winning contests, completing courses in the Reviewers Academy or for simply just being a great MOC'er or customizer.

[RileyC]

Hey KimT,

I have noticed that the star wars sets anyone? topic is now pinned but this topic isn't, Is it just my computer or did they magically do a switcheroo and something gone wrong?

Or simply being funny, weird or different. ADHO's is something like "Plural Sheep Specialist" or "I quote myself because I'm a plural sheep specialist."

Or Blakbird's is "Needs more logs."

I unpinned this to get a spot for the Star Wars Sets Anyone?-topic.

There's been a lot of chit chat on pricing and availability in the Rumor & Picture topic, so I decided to pin the other topic for them to rant in.

I hope that'll leave a more clear and news oriented discussion in the 2010 topic.

If not, then someone has to pay and there's always the closed news topic which we try to keep updated at all times.

[KimT]

Shortly we'll add a "Useful Reviews" somewhere.

It'll include reviews on for example useful stuff like the recent review of "Star Wars Complete Locations" by echobasehoth.

Keep'em coming.

Having a list of useful books and techniques for MOCing is a great source.

Ok thanks for the answer Shadows. It's a really good idea to do that cause KimT looks like he running out of paitience with people posting about prices.

Isn't Shadows. KimT? or did he just vanish?

[JimBee]

They tried to look alike, but you can see their tags, group, and profile are different. You'll have to do better on April 1st.

Damn it! Curse you meddling kids!!
