The only way that’s gonna happen is if I make it myself, but unfortunately I have neither the technical know-how nor the time to devote to such an enterprise.

Yeah, like it’s so hard. http://www.triple-bypass.net/jlug2/index.php

This is just a sample, and I’ve only put 15 minutes work into it.

Nice work, CM Worker! (Or should I say CL Worker?)

Hopefully, my prompt registering will result in a low member number (not than numbers mean anything).

Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for registering and all, guys. However, this is just a sample, and I’m not sure I’m the one to be administering or hosting a forum. I really just wanted to prove to Allister how quick and easy it was to set up a forum. Perhaps more discussion is warranted.

No. No discussion. Why not register us, and see how it goes? Will it collapse in a mountain of anticommunitarian trolling? Will you collapse under the admin load? I suspect neither. But carpe diem and all that. You have built it, they are coming.

But why not give it a go, just to see? Go on.

Besides, I am rather keen on getting a low member number.

Cheers

My reference to meant collapsing under the admin load is not meant to be insulting toward CL Ross and Mistress Janey. They did do a lot of work behind the scenes.

In fact, some of the things they delivered were the most wizard that I’ve seen in any online LEGO forum. But perhaps some of the things like s’lighting, the LPV and MOT galleries, jugstars, the automatic deacrynoming of CTOPs, the cute smilies and so on were a bit too much of an overhead. Wherever did they get the ideas for such features?

So, kudos to CL Ross and Mistress Janey for what they achieved.

Cheers
