I'm not trying to be a wet towel, but I've always viewed LUGnet as the 'center
portal' or 'hub' of the lego community--it functions as exactly that, AND a
discussion site. Secondly, Lugnet already fits the "concept of a LEGO site that
the community could truly call its own." Thirdly, LUGnet already has "the
involvement of the LEGO Company itself." basically, LEGOFan.net seems totally
redundant and *almost* feels like a slap in the face to LUGnet & Todd. HOWEVER,
more Lego sites are a good thing. Good Luck.
