I feel strongly that this will encourage others to create "(theme)
MOTM" contests, and that will spell the end of the unique recognition

Hi! Okay, so here's the deal, Tim Courtney from LDraw.org has asked me to change the name of Technic MOTM into something _not_ Model Of The Month since he feels MOTM is "an important part of LDraw.org's recognition". I _will_ change the name despite (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
