  Re: About the term "AFOL"
 
(...) Suz's drive-by butt-in.. I don't use AFOL in ref to myself because I don't like it either. Not that it's -horrible-, but I don't feel as though it covers me. "Fan" implies "fanatic", which I'm not. (Though I certainly was ten years ago..) Plus (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

  Re: About the term "AFOL"
 
(...) I used to like it until someone pronounced my initials (DPE) as "Dippy". Actually (man, this is going off-topic FAST), when I was a wee one of about 7 years old or so, my name betrayed me. My mom was "Moo-Moo". You'd be "Loo-Loo Hoo-Hoo". Jake (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.people)

  Re: About the term "AFOL"
 
(...) I personally dislike refering to myself in accronym form. Accronyms are pretty much an indicator of complete geekishness, which, when cruising the beach for babes, I try to avoid. I usually say "LEGO Fan" and "LEGO Fan Community", and then (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.general)

  Re: position calculating for robots

  Re: BrickSpace Homeworld Mod - Call For Texturing Help
 
(...) Homeworld or Homeworld 2? I might be able to assist... although It'd seem to me if you can use blender to do it, why not make your models and use an ldraw importer and go from there? (plus it'd give you bricky bits for ship breakups). (21 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: About the term "AFOL"
