Excuse my ignorance, but what about those websites, like FBTB and

main page and see the news that has been posted there at the expense of time and
effort by the websites administrators?

What about those websites who want to show off the latest pics of the newest
sets, like FBTB and Classic-Castle, who would like the traffic to their sites,
and who want deals with LEGO to display the latest and greatest pictures?

How is taking this information away from these websites not replacing them?

Why bother posting to the website at all if the forum topics are taken to
another website?  Why not just post to that website?  Why would LEGO give their
preview set images to other websites, when these nonreproducable nonrepostable
images could just be given to this new website to which they already have deep
partnership, and severe all contact with the old ones?

Why not go a step further and take the news items on those websites' main pages
and link them to this new website, thus removing any point to the old websites?

If none of the above is to happen, then how is it not about just forums and
links?

Of course, these are all just questions, read into them as you like.

Oh, I understand this. That's part of the "lot of work" that would be involved.
How exactly do you implement something like this to the other sites
satisfaction? *I* don't know exactly. Yet at the same time I can't help but
think this would actually bring traffic to those sites. I don't visit FBTB, or
Classic-Castle EVER at this point. But I would, if I had a portal straight to
the good stuff. At which point I would be inclined to browse around the rest of
the site.

(...) So you won't visit Classic-Castle unless another site links to it? Ok. (URL) you go. Now you don't even have to wait till LEGOFan.net is launched. I believe there is also a link to this castle site in the castle section of Lugnet. --Anthony (20 years ago, 15-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
