   (...) I have loads of free time, so if you can't/don't want to handle the duties, I'd be willing to take on the job. Jeff (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)
   
        Re: who is the castle curator??? —Benjamin Medinets
   (...) Or I can assist... I am quite busy (at the moment), but should be well versed (enough) with the FTX layout, so the time shouldn't really play a factor. Though, Jeff, you might be able to provide us with really cool castle sources like you did (...) (22 years ago, 9-Nov-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

         Re: who is the castle curator??? —Benjamin Medinets
     (...) No Prob, Lar. What I meant was that, while the majority of castle-heads are very easy going, becoming king of the hill...err castle moderator, might lead to a power struggle or at least cause some complaints within the rank-and-file of the (...)

         Re: who is the castle curator??? —Matt Hein
     (...) I am against the entire notion of supporting a curator for castle. In my opinion, there is no real need for one, as castle is a more "free flowing" group. A power struggle would only contribute to its demise, and effectively, I think some (...) (22 years ago, 9-Nov-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)
    
         Re: who is the castle curator??? —Richard Noeckel

     Hi Matt, I understand and respect your statements.

         Re: who is the castle curator??? —Benjamin Medinets
     All discussions aside. Here's Suz take on the situation, she can either pick an curator herself, or someone can start up an member (FTX) page. I love working with FTX, but would REALLY love some great ideas on what to include or not. I'll have to (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)
    
         Re: who is the castle curator??? —Matt Hein
      (...) Well, I'll back you for the curatorship then, being that you're the only person who honestly really wants to attain curatorship of castle and make some important change.

          Re: who is the castle curator??? —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) When I looked at the ftx source ((URL) looked like you did the hot castle posts by hand... Or at least the output ftx did.

           Re: who is the castle curator??? —Jeff Stembel
        (...) I would strongly recommend you not make a list of personal page links. It would be very long and a major hassle, and people will complain if their links aren't on it (some of you may remember a recent fiasco in .mecha like this). Links to (...)

           Re: who is the castle curator??? —Benjamin Medinets
       (...) Sure... it helps. Also, Brickshelf automatically makes thumbnails of all the pictures of uploaded to it. I can use the thumbnails for the higher "demand" pictures.

          Re: who is the castle curator??? —Bruce Hietbrink
       Hey, It looks nice. A couple of suggestions: Looking at .trains as a model, some graphics would be nice, either official sets or minifigs, or a couple of cool MOCs. If it were MOCs you would want to rotate these relatively often so lots of people (...) (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.admin.curators)
     
          Re: who is the castle curator??? —Matt Hein
