I don't think you should expect LEGOFan.net to lower the
number of LEGO fan community sites. If we manage to release
some easy to use software for setting up a community site,
it will probably result in an increasing number of local
LEGO fan community sites. But we hope that LEGOFan.net will
help making both new and existing LEGO fan community sites
cooperate more.

That is possible. :-(
But it is not the goal. On the other hand, we must admit
that we have started the project, because we found things
missing on the existing LEGO fan community sites, and thus
can't deny that we expect LEGOFan.net to at least supplement
and maybe also substitute some of the existing LEGO fan
community sites. But please don't expect too much, until we
have shown some working code.

We hope so, but it depends on figuring out how to get the
sites to cooperate. A part of the idea with LEGOFan.net is
to act as a channel for cooperation among and access to the
other sites, so we will not have done our job properly, if
we don't bring an increase in the activity and usefulness of
the LEGO fan community web sites.
Play well,
