    Message boards on LEGO.com? —James Trobaugh
   Has anyone heard anything about this? I just noticed it this morning. (URL) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Steven Combs
     (...) not sure how long these have been around but judging from the number of messages, not long. My guess is that the younger folks would probably use these boards more and that the adult fans would probably continue to use LUGNET. However, you (...)

         Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Thomas Avery
      (...) I hope not. But I do agree that the younger fans will take to it. Well, I see one member of our community has already posted there (see the message about the Santa Fe Super Chief Cars in the trains group). But there's something interesting, (...)

      (...) Interesting... (...) I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. When I read my message (after it had been approved and publicly visible) this morning, I was too groggy to notice a difference. I notice they trimmed an off-topic comment on (...)

          Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Steven Combs
      (...) However this does jive with their kid friendly theme. My 7 year-old daughter just created her own LEGO Web account and I have to say that I feel much safer allowing her to browse through the LEGO site knowing that someone is moderating the (...)

          Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Thomas Avery
      (...) I can agree with that for a kid's forum. Definitely. I'm assured LUGNET isn't being replaced (and I'm sure that wasn't LEGO's intent either). TJ (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
     
          Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) I posted a few comments... it will be interesting to see how or if they get moderated. (as of a few min ago none had been yet). I agree with Tim, I had already done some self editing on what I said. The comments are positive but not uniformly (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

          Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) Maybe it's not really quite up and running? If you go to the front page, www.lego.com, there is (at least for me) a "message boards" link in the lower left corner which leads to (URL) ... this, for me anyway, is a dead link... Does it work for (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
      
           Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Joel Hoornbeek
       The link seems to work for me. I probably never would have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out, so, thanks. I posted a message in the "Next Legend?" thread this morning, and I think it took them three or four hours to approve it. -Joel (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

         Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Tim Courtney

As far as the editing, what do you all think? Would you prefer (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) That will be great. I would stump (as I did in my comment in the board feedback section) for references to the guide section of LUGNET(tm) and Peeron(tm) inventories and other things to be left alone. (...)

        Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Kyle McDonald

        Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? Jake McKee
   (...) Well, the issue is that providing the URL (linked or not) opens a potential door to inappropriate content. As Steve put in an earlier post, the goal is to have a Message Board that anyone feels safe participating in, or sending their kids to (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Kerry Raymond

That way the message and the image can moderated together and then, since the image is served from the Lego site, there is no possibility of its content changing (...)

        RE: Message boards on LEGO.com? —Marco Correia
   Jake, I think that pictures of (at least) sets would be essencial. So, would it be possible to include pics in the msg instead of explicit URLs ? I don't know how your Tech/Web designer would implement this, but it could have some extra fields (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
