From my reading it appears that lugnet went through some management
turmoil--unprocessed memberships, infrequent updates to theme areas, access
issues for admins, and so forth. Did the exodus cause the storm, or did the
storm cause the exodus, or did something else happen? Has that storm passed?
Rene immediately restored my membership and delt with my initial posting
problems.

I think it was a bit of both. The community wanted websites with more
specialized content. Needs were not being met (articles, chat, easy to join) so
other sites were started.

I was reading about the ambassador program, and it appears lego still uses
lugnet to interact with end users. Is lego now going to the other boards,
too?
|
Yes. Major announcements are still made on Lugnet. Ambassadors often post news
on all of the theme/lug sites they are involved in. Theme sites also get
product previews (Star Wars at fbtb.net, Castle at Classic-Castle.com, etc).

I wonder if the other groups felt lugnet was just not flexible enough. Have
any of the groups ever explained why they jumped?
|
Lugnet is great as a site to see mocs from many themes and have general
discussions. Expecting Lugnet (or any site run by one or two people) to be
adequate for all of the specialized groups of LEGO fans is not realistic.
| |
I remember when one could read about every subgenera all at once in rtl.
Lugnet imposed a lot of structure, but one could still dip into all the
streams. With everyone blown to the winds, how does one keep up? Is lugnet
still the central clearing house of lego knowledge?
|
Many people still read Lugnet. The problem is that few post. I regularly
browse Lugnet, Classic-Castle, Classic-Space, fbtb.net, bricklink, eurobricks.
I post more at Classic-Castle since I help run that site and am a castle head.
Castle!
