I'm surprised you guys haven't thrown up a splash page or something, at

I'm not.  Until they have explicit permission from TLC to register a domain name
containing their trademarked brand name, it would be a blatant violation of
trademark rights to do so.  Not a good way to start off this proposed
relationship with TLC, wouldn't you think?

On a technical note, the domain is ALREADY registered.  It has been since
august:

Domain Name: LEGOFAN.NET
Registrar: TUCOWS INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com
Name Server: NS1.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Name Server: NS2.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Name Server: NS3.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 18-aug-2003
Creation Date: 18-aug-2003
Expiration Date: 18-aug-2004

It doesn't say WHO registered it, but my hope would be that it was someone
involved with the project in anticipation of being approved to use it.
