Brawl Snapshots was a highly popular image-upload website intended for sharing of snapshots taken in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Members could upload either pre-converted .jpg images or raw .bin files, with the additional option to preform automatic widescreen un-distortion. Members could +1 others' images to increase their ranking on various lists, with the top-rated images generally being humorous, lucky, or requiring extensive setup and precision.
The site was not without its problems. As any old .jpg could be uploaded, there was no enforcable restriction for image content, so images from other games such as Animal Crossing could be uploaded (diluting the site's intent). Less-scrupulous members would also upload duplicates of others' images or even the ones posted on the DOJO!!. The website's forums were a constant source of arguments and controversy for various reasons.
Eventually, the site's owners ceased paying and let Brawl Snapshots go down. No successor, direct or spiritual, has existed since.
