For my part, Terry, I disagree that this is being done with any disrespect
towards LUGNET. It doesn't seem to be some personal "Don't like the way you run
things" reasoning, like you have with Bricklink. I think consolidation and
resource sharing is the point.
You listed a number of sites that serves you well. Unfortunately, for a number
of more casual fans, that number is a few sites too high. From my personal
perspective, I would love have one site that contains (within the site itself)
everything I am looking for. I can't tell you how many times I write down 3 or
4 different sites to a customer looking for information on something, and have
to show them each different site so that they get the interface and terminology.
I'm all about standardization, and if I can say, "yeah, just go to this website,
it will let you find the piece you're looking for from the set you want, tell
you all about it, allow you to chat in discussions about it, host pictures of
it, and let you buy it, all on one site", then my life would be a touch easier.
I might be playing devil's advocate, but I also strongly believe that this is
not disrespect, and should not attacked as such. It is, after all, the
sincerest form of flattery.
