Any links on your webpages that point to ANY page at *Fibblesnork* should
please be removed ASAP!!

The domain name has apparently changed hands.. from what was Todd Lehman's
personal website to one with **adult content** (at one click in).

This may include:

* sites using Fibblesnork LEGO Backgrounds (because you were asked
to include a credit and link back to Todd's site).

* sites featured as Cool LEGO Site of the Week who linked back via a button.

Um, I mentioned this a while back, at that time the site was just down.

I am more than happy to remove all the credit links but would like to hear
what credit Todd wants in its place. Does anyone know?

Also are the backgrounds themselves lost? Maybe we all need to round up the
ones we have if Todd lost them. I have a few but not all the colors.

I agree with Larry that we should try to round up all the colors.  I have light
blue and white, and I think that is it.  Bummer, I really liked using them. We
could probably put them up at Brickshelf for the time being. Also someone else
mentioned possibly buying it, as a community.  I would be willing to put a
couple bucks in the pot if this was deemed necessary.

Jason,

I've moved them to a new home on www.lugnet.com in a sub-area parallel to the
Fibblesnork LEGO Guide and the (long obsolete) catalog guide...

Well, I certainly appreciate the thought, but all the content is still alive
and well, and it's just the DNS that went sour when I neglected to renew the
domain of my personal site.

Thanks for moving those.  I will update my links to there, for credit.

Indeed, thanks! Good to see they are not lost.

Laziness has its own reward, I updated Bricksmiths last nite to the linkless
version of the credit but hadn't yet got to my other sites. That means I
only have to redo Bricksmiths (to add the credit version of the link)
instead of all of them!

I've updated the links on my page (http://brickenplate.topcities.com/) to the
new location.  I have a problem, though.  The LUGNET links page
(http://www.lugnet.com/links/) still points to my old xoom.com/nbci.com site
where the references to the fibblesnork domain remain.  I e-mailed Linc Smith
(is that a real person or a pseudonym...what a name for someone who maintains a
links page) about this some time ago, but the page still points to the old
nbci.com site (which is still up despite motices to the contrary from
nbci.com).  If someone with authority to change my link on the links page would
do so, I would very much appreciate it.  Thanks.
