It opens directly to a pseudo login page...
Now people will be crazy again about Security 
Maybe a good idea not to loose focus on Help Desk and BrickLink communication
(Notifications with confirmation and history on site!) for instance?

yeah its a typical scam site. Nothing works but the "login"
My browser wants to translate it from French (despite everything visible being
English) so I guess theres french somewhere on the backend of this garbage. I
guess scammers out of Canada or France. *shrug*

Because they would've to buy hundreds of domains, like bricklinks.net, bricklinka.com,
brick-link.net, bricklinkk.net, bricklinks.org...
Plus some may already be taken and put for sale at $100,000 ea - so no, it's
not easy.

agreed.
Also I don't think it would really stop the phishing. I mean, I don't
think 100% of people glance at the url when they hit a link. I know I don't.
It could be www.yourvebeenhacked.com after you click the link and it would still
get a decent number of victims IMO because I doubt the average user checks these
things.

Dan did not originate Bricklink to be a historical resource. I saw his posts
in the forums when it was brought up long before you knew this site existed.
He established Bricklink to facilitate buying and selling Lego parts and sets.
The fact that people put a lot of work into identifying differences made it
into a historical resource, but that was not the intent. Lego has become far
more mainstream today than ever before, but most of the newcomers have no idea
about variants and just want to buy what they want or need, without the confusing
variants. For the people who really care about a variant, there will still be
stores who break them out and will sell them to those who care or need them.
I do recognize all the work that people put in as volunteers to identify and
establish the variants and I do respect their work. It would be nice to have
a variant page/section for reference and to recognize the work they put into
it.
|
Knowing “what you need” is based on available information, which has now been
condensed for no good reason. The only reason I know that a set has a specific
variant is because of the work put in by catalog contributors. People aren’t
going to care anymore because the distinction isn’t being explicitly made anymore.
Defending ineptitude and inconsistency is much easier, though.

That is just it, the VAST majority don't care. Also, because you seem to
not understand something really simple, but very important. This isn't your
site, you don't own it, you don't operate it and you don't get to
make the decisions. It is great that they still listen to the community at large,
however this is a business, and it will be run in the manner that they decide
is best for it.
And as far as ineptitude and inconsistency go, it is still here, it is still
up and running and it is still majorly successful.
If you don't like the direction, they are taking you can find another place
to buy from.

This x100. Thank you for saving me the effort of typing it out.
I really really get sick of the entitlement I see here when people go full rage
about, IMO, the dumbest things.
|
Have you EVER added a item to the catalog???
It's a lot of work!! We are upset because our hours(for some months) of work
are being destoryed!
| |
Go somewhere else if you hate it so much.
|
Easy for you to say, but some have dumped weeks of work into this site.
|
Why aren't you banned yet? Christ.

20,000 images belong to me. And I figure they want more. I get to make the decisions
about that.

Honest question, you still retain rights to the photos submitted here?
