Is .space- and all of Lugnet, for that matter- really quiet? I know, I’m
contributing to the problem by not posting, but I’ve been grounded off the
computer lately and so I haven’t been able to post.
Just checked .space, and no posts for a day. .Castle has more traffic, and
classic-castle.com has had even more. Yes, its Spring Break, but last week was
very quiet, too.
I think we need something around here to revitalize the .space community,
something to encourage people to sign up and also encourage old posters who are
lurkers (or worse) to post. Perhaps we might even need to follow .Castle
(*gasp*) and start our own website- a classic-space.com- to liven things up?
Lugnet is really nice, but I think without something new the whole community
stagnates.
Just some thoughts.

| (...) It's not just you. I have no idea what happened. A few weeks ago things were going great. Then, just as I decide to de-lurk, things go quiet. I feel like I just arrived at a fantastic party right at the time everyone else decides to go home. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) The timing of spring break varies widely these days, so you might have something there. I have to admit that my rate of moc creation has been reduced a bit lately. My motivation level has dipped a bit, but there are reasons for this that are (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I'm not sure if a new site is really worth the trouble - especially for the fracturing it does to the community, but that is really an old argument. I'd recommend posting a new cool moc, that would sure get lots of people posting again to say (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Lugnet and .space have always gone through waves of activity. Spring is a busy time for a lot of people. (...) Plans are still to do something on www.classic-space.com We'll just have to see how that pans out. --(URL) SteveR> (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) I was on Spring Break all last week, which, suprisingly enough meant less time to post. I usually make the few posts I do, while I am in some boring class. Spring break meant law review write on, so I was even more busy than when I have class. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Well, it looks like a few people are at least paying attention. And, here comes my 2 cents... Thanks for the thoughts, JHK; here's some back at you. I imagine there might be a bit of a post-BrickFest lull, and as others have said, it's a busy (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) This has been a very busy time for me. Planning for the pending birth of my first child, attending baby showers galore for lots of my other friends who all seem to be pregnant at the same time, and yes, building too. Those of you who I talked (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I guess I find it a bit annoying since you complain about the lack of "community" but your solution is to (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX) !

| (...) I have several mocs to take pictures of and post, but everytime I think about doing that I remember how little feedback my posts get and think why bother. Of course they were somewhat shown in IndyLUG's moonbase layout so you may have seen (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | Re: Is it just me, or...
|
| (...) I feel pretty goofy responding to this topic when I've let so many other good mocs lately go by without a post of praise. I'm in the camp of AFOLs who are in a bit of a post-PDX lull. I worked pretty hard in the couple weeks leading up to PDX (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| I'd like to second j0n's post above, and add that I'm pretty freakin' busy too. I'm moving all my Lego and other possesions, and looking for a job. Come April, though, I will teach you the meaning of fear :). Soren (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Is it just me, or is there a lot of activity lately? 8 space MOCs in announce.moc over the weekend, 65 posts to .space today. I think that it just goes to show that lulls such as the one that started this thread are cyclical and generally (...) (21 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
