I think you should add a category: Community General Discussion Sites This would cover several sites that are not affiliated with a specific lug or theme. Examples of such sites are EuroBricks and LEGOfan.org (and since LEGOfan is run by fans, I do (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Um... I think general discussion sites are also a kind of LUG? As for LEGOFan.org: it is in fact an official site, but I wouldn't mind to see it in both cats. Leg Godt, Rene (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Actually, LEGOFan.org is run by fans, and it's not controlled by TLG, so it's not an official LEGO property... although it does have permission to use the company mark in the domain name.

As I recall, LegoFan was a site that had the official "approval", and had limited sponsorship/endorsement from the company. However, the actual site was always (...)

Hi Lenny & Ben, would it make sense to have a category "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (local)" for all the XyzLUGs and another one "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (worldwide)" for e.g. LUGNET, LEGOFan.org etc.? We should try to keep it quiet obvious to people (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
