Venturebeat- Can you do a follow up story on Brickfish? The site is now shut down and I as well as many others who has entries in their campaigns are very curious. All of the contests are ending early, and as far as I know prizes are still being awarded, but what happened? No one really knows.
Since this is the only story I could find anywhere on Brickfish, I was hoping maybe you also knew why it shut down.

I agree it is a scam and a waste of time. They are very ambiguous about the scoring criteria. When asked why reviews are removed, a canned answer is given and they are unwilling to investigate why they are removed. Less than a month in the campaign we are participating in. Curious what the outcome will be but not expecting anything!

Brickfish is a SCAM. Recently entered one of my photos in one of their competitions. Even though my photo was hands down the most popular photo and came in first place, they awarded the grand prize to the photo that came in 27th place. Obviously the 27th place photo was a friend or employee of Brickfish. Anyone who has dealings with them will regret it!

Wow, I am a bit surprised after reading this, because after all Brickfish community has some design talents. To me Brickfish's members and panel judges are a bag of shit. I used all my best to write an essay to submit for its essay contest with expectation of first place after reading hundreds of "top rated" which are ALL bullshit writing. Eventually my piece was nowhere on the front page and reading the 1st and 2nd places's essays is like 2 shots of scum to my face. They are stupid to all the way. The panel judges must all be illiterate. I really ran a criticizing campaign through multiple users' pages but ended up bored and quit. Every day seeing my Fastweb list filled with "Brickfish's bullshit something..." makes me sick.

The backlach has begun. Users of LiveJournal are sick and tired of the BrickFish spam posts.

The problem with this kind of campaigning is that your users will spam the content and create a bad reputation for your company.

BrickFish is going to realize this too late.

I am a former winner of a brickfish campaign and its true the sponsors of the campaign cut me off short, but others saw what i could do and it opened doors for me. Even the users who don't win campaigns are noticed by other companies.

why wouldn't incubus just ask for ideas through its web site or myspace page instead of paying a penny to a third party?
