Ah, what a complete turn-off. Some autocratic Ayatollah (who happens to be from
Sweden, I am so ashmed to be a Swede right now!) wrote: "Before you do a request
like this it is concidered good practice to contact a moderator" WHAT???? Who do
those Popes think they are? You never see such dictatorship in good old LUGNET.
Down with Eurobricks!

Hi Tore, LTNS!
I can understand Superkalles reaction. Dilvish (who started the thread) is new
to Eurobricks and is fishing for traffic _from_ EB. It's almost never considered
good practice anywhere. Your reaction seems a bit strong however, but it's
understandable when your pet is shoot down.
The thread at EB is opened again now that the misunderstandings are cleared.
Superkalle is a super nice guy whom I've had the pleasure of meeting IRL so no
need to be ashamed!
Hope all is well!
With best regards,
/Tobbe

I tell you, you are jumping into conclusiones. "Fishing for traffic from EB" -
LOL! C'mon seriously, is that what you really believe? You must mean something
like:
"SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
SweLUG is dead. Long live SweBrick.se!
The content below reamians for historical reasons, but everything new takes
place at SweBrick, read above. ;)" - http://news.lugnet.com/loc/se
(This was actually written there before SweLUG was completely dead...)
Do I hear the sound of breaking glass or what?
Superkalle mailed me an apology and explained about this fishing for traffic,
some even for their commercial sites. So I can somehow understand the problem.
But another problem is to draw that line between heads-ups on one's projects and
trying to steal members. In a sence, fishing for traffic is about all I've been
doing here at LUGNET. To BrickLink, BrickShelf, swipnet, Telia.com, Facebook,
DropBox, Flickr, SkyDrive... - almost every time I've wanted to share something
LEGO/LDraw realated. I find it quite inevitable, even without any sinister
motives.
I don't know why I keep doing this, working on this totally insane Datsville
project. But it's in its 13th years now and I can't let go of it. But I have to
admit that I've run out of steam, and out of creativity. That's why I was so
overjoyed from reading that Dilvish is taking the baton and that he already has
spent countless of hours on it.
Dilvish is fishing for LCad models to Datsville, and he asks for them in EB. He
makes no secret of his motives, and he has no hidden agenda to fish for traffic
or whatsoever. Why would he? What would he gain from that? I can't believe you
just assume the worst.
And btw, he made me visit EB thanks to this post:

I understand that LUGNET is dead it's just a matter of time before it closes
down, and I can but accept it. But don't you ever try to destroy Datsville too!
The locking of that thread was much more a diss of the Datsville project and our
motives than a EB vs LUGNET thing.

I saw that. Thanks.

If no one is there to hear the glass brake, does it make a sound? ;)
Yeah I know that was a H U G E stone in the glass house, as we say. :D But I
tried to do it the nice way and hand over the curatorship to somebody for years
without success. I admit its done in a very childish way, but I thought any
Swedish AFOLS needed to see that the scene is very far from dead even if /loc/se
is. Swebrick.se has had 29 members online today, that's really impressive
compared to the "glory" days of /loc/se.
> I can't believe you just assume the worst.
I assumed nothing, I have nothing to do with EB (I am a member but I rarely
visit anymore). But like I said; I understand the reaction from Superkalle. The
post was not very clear and Superkalle probably see lot's of irrelevant posts
that need to go and I can guess that he don't have the time to investigate every
one in detail (EB has a very strict policy for posts, Internet ain't the same
anymore. There are still places where anything legal goes but they are few and
far between.).

I'm not destroying anything (to my knowledge), I just meant that I can somewhat
see your reaction is strong when Datsville indirectly got a blow at EB.

I bet your reading too much into this. Also I had no idea there was an EB vs
LUGNET thing (apart from your blatant "Down with Eurobricks!"). IIRC EB existed
before LUGNET shattered? Shame it did, I liked the fact that the whole
LEGO-community was gathered in one place (except 1000 Steine and BZ Power). Now
it's all over the place...
