Always good to see an “old schooler” reappear on the board! Welcome back,
Doug!

Hi, John. A name I remember. Thanks for the welcome. I trust your train
collection continues to thrive and grow?

Oh, baby, does it ever!:-) I use my
LUGNET NG as our web site. No jumping ship, here!

Hey, sorry about that last hyperlink there, but that leads me to the second
change. .SPACE is, for all intents and purposes,
dead.
MIA.
Many have migrated to Classic Space.
Traitors, really, but what are ya gonna do?

I suspected as much after looking through the archives, checking the traffic
report, and visiting classic-space.com. I suppose I am as much to blame as
anyone, since I left very early on. For that matter, I already created an
account at classic-space.
From what I’ve read in .announce and .general, it appears lugnet in general
has gone through some turmoil. I was shocked to see, in the traffic report,
that all of lugnet had 300 posts in the last week. I was under the
impression it used to do 10 times that, if not more. Lego seems as strong as
ever, so where did everyone go? I guess I need to have that discussion in
another newsgroup. I’m really curious to know what has befallen the mighty
lugnet. And, of course, to know where .space fits into it all.

One might say that LUGNET is a victim of its own success. It brought us all
together, and all of the little sects got together and formed boards of their
own (1000Steine.de, Classic-Castle, Classic-Space, FBTB, BZpower, JLUG <RIP>,
MechaHub) to name just a few.
Actually, we trainheads, although forming IIRC the first sectarian web site
(iltco.org) never did open any boards beyond LUGNET (so far).
So, if you added up all of the posts from all of those sites each day, you’d
find support today for LEGO is stronger than ever.

And for the record, I still have 3 or 5 trains (for space configurations, of
course), but no place to put them.

Good. Bad. Bad. :-)
