Oh wait.  There is one.  And I'm using it right now.

Finally! Someone made the completely ignorant statement I was waiting for! w00t!

Ok, I'll put my piece in here I guess.

I think this whole idea is a good one, but it's going to take a LOT of work and
participation from the other sites.

What some people don't seem to understand, is that this isn't just about forums
and links.

Imagine if you will, you have a homepage that you can configure, however you
want, that can give you the latest threads FROM Lugnet, FBTB, Classic Castle,
etc. Imagine it shows you the latest MOCs from your favorite builders and/or
catagories. Imagine it also shows you the latest pics for new sets. Imagine it
would tell you when something on your BrickLink wishlist appears. Imagine just
how limitless this could be if it actually happens! And that's just the
homepage...

And this isn't about replacing ANYTHING, when you click the links on such a
homepage it would take you to the places you know and love now. And this would
allow NEW sites to join in much easier without being forced to pull people away
from the other sites. Everything would be interconnected and make finding what
you actually want to see much easier.

Like I said however, it will take a lot of work. And I'm not sure that it really
would ever happen, but it's nice to dream.

All that is fine & well, but:
a) why can’t LUGNET perform that role?
b) I’m concerned about the Lego Group’s involvement; it is still not clear what
they expect for their ‘13 pieces of silver’? ;)

If Jake wants to capture the “hearts and minds” (1) of consumers, I’d suggest
the Lego Group starts by looking at its product lines and customer service.

I must admit to being cynical even about the Lego Group’s involvement with
LUGNET. After all, I’m not clear what this thread achieved:
