Wadda?
I'm sorry to say this, but this is the worst lack of respect towards Lugnet and
this community I've seen in a long time. What would your website do if not copy
what Lugnet does? Why come on Lugnet to advertise a website which has for
primary objective, the way you describe it, to replace Lugnet as the main LEGO
website?
It seems to me that some people are simply not happy not to be the ones running
THE major LEGO community website and want to create their own. Or maybe, like
many others, I simply don't get it? Tell me why not contribute to the already
existing great website that is lugnet and proposing to help maintaining it and
improving it as a moderator or something in those lines instead of creating a
competitive site, which you advertise freely here?
Maybe, like I said, it's just me. But I truly fail to see the point of your
group. I heard of a similar group when the BL community was split between the
Dan Jezek supporters and the others that weren't happy with the way things were
going. Some poeple started talking about creating a new community website for
sellers and buyers to trade without some rules that BL has. It failed
miserably. The way I see it, it failed because most people, like me, preferred
working with the imperfect but good BL system to improve it instead of
destroying a good system and not knowng what the results would be.
For my part, Lugnet satisfies my needs plenty. Brickshelf is great too. Add
Brickset, which I seldom visit but is nontheless a great website, BriskLink,
which I still use as a buyer even if I quit the selling business because I was
unhappy the way DanJ runs the business, add also MOCPages and a multitude of
fan-created theme-oriented websites and I truly don't see what your site would
bring more. lugnet already links to these websites. If not, Brickshelf does.
I think you need to explain how Lugnet is NOT the main hub. And if you think it
is, explain why you want to replace it instead of improving it with us. I
really don't want to see something like a competitive website happening. It
would only divide the community, not make it stronger.

| Hi everyone, For some time now, a group of us have been discussing the concept of a LEGO site that the community could truly call its own-- community owned, designed, and operated. To this end, we have been endeavoring for more than half a year to (...)
