There are certainly some negative people on the site, but the moderator team do a good job of making sure any criticism is genuine and not a personal attack.

Thanks for your continued support :)

It started off as a side-project for fun, now has grown so large it's my primary income. Unfortunately it hasn't left me with enough spare time to enjoy LEGO much though.

My kids enjoyed LEGO Masters (Australia), and it certainly seemed to bring some new people to the site.

There have been several attempts that I know of. But they all tend to have a low number of categories they sort into - tens vs the thousands of actual categories that exist.

I have tried it myself and it simply needs more input data (ie photos). However, that is something I might follow up on later as I can fairly easily get more data just by asking my community :)

The sorting can be quite relaxing for some people (ie me). Kind of like a background task you can perform while watching a movie and calm your mind of things.

- Django + Postgres + Ubuntu. Runs on Linode with some AWS usage and Digital Ocean for backups (I prefer backups on different platforms).

- Content is community driven, along with a team of volunteer admins to maintain it.

- Copyright problems are constant. People try to submit MOCs designed by other people all the time.

2nd for The Bobiverse, it has some humour and had some fresh ideas in it.

Have you ever tried to use PayPal's documentation? Might make you feel better about Stripe :)

It's an "accen"t pointing to the fu"ture".

source: unfortunately I used to work there when they came up with the name.

I loved it and paid for it. Sure, I didn't have to but I sure feel better having done so. Besides, I'd easily spend that money on a game that lasts a few dozen hrs at most so why not a tool I use every day?

Agreed. I've been using Django for only a little while, and sometimes find it quite frustrating. Then something finally makes sense and I realise I've been doing it wrong and the proper way makes everything soooo easy. The trick is to know when you're doing it the wrong way which isn't always apparent.

I had an account closed with about 2k in it and no amount of pestering them made a difference. Then suddenly, about a year afterwards (I think), they sent me a cheque with the balance. Also, I was able to create a new account after fixing what they didn't like and haven't had issues with it.
