The main reason is that LUGNET is not owned and run by the community. I love
LUGNET, and I think Todd (and Suz, before she retired) did a great job in
setting it up and running it. However, development on LUGNET can only be done
by invitation. And to date, there have been very few such invitations. That is
one of the main things we hope LEGOFan can improve on. By making the code that
runs the site accessible for anyone to download, modify, and submit updates, we
allow a much wider pool of developers to work on the site.
This means, that if someone has a great idea for a new way to, say, track
community events, they can just write a module, upload it, and everyone
benefits. Currently, they would have to just go set it up at yet another site,
and they would not have any way to integrate with the vast amount of data and
code that's already there.
I think that's one point that's being missed here.
