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.

I agree with this. Lugnet was ground breaking, when it was first launched. But that was eons ago. We’re rapidly coming up on lugnet.space’s 10th anniversary (http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=1). It’s been a great 10 years for lugnet.space with well over 40k postings, but unfortunately, Lutnet itself is still largely the same as it was 10 years ago. It’s a great place to host Lego newsgroups, but that’s so 1999...

This is why I started this thread in lugnet.space. The fact is that the vast majority of the lugnet.space community has moved on to other websites.

(...) Can I propose twittering with hashtags like #technic_moc or #space_moc so we can find each others cool stuff now it is moving away from the lugnet server? (15 years ago, 7-Jul-09, to lugnet.admin.curators, lugnet.space, lugnet.technic)
