Since I (and many others) started using sites like Flickr to share photos, viewers can post comments on the Flickr page rather than the old method where we posted pics on BrickShelf and then post our comments here on LUGNET. What killed off RTL nearly a decade ago was the diversity LUGNET brought to the niches in the LEGO community but my theory of what will kill off LUGNET in the future is its inability to "store-photos-and-share-comments" that Flickr is providing now. LUGNET still holds value to me (and no doubt many others) as a news source about the LEGO community but, like newspapers, if there aren't any big changes, it will go bye-bye. Adr.

I'd still like to see MOCs from 'THIS' Newsgroup posted to the ".space MOC Highlight". That would be nice. Alas, much like the .technic group, which has had no MOC updates for nearly 2 years. Anyone interested in the jobs? -LUGNET Member 1051 (15 years ago, 3-Jul-09, to lugnet.space, lugnet.technic, lugnet.admin.curators)
