Is there a safe flame-proof place to talk about
clone bricks?  I got the new Best-Loc tank.
The studs are the right size, but the bricks are
as tall as they are wide, so they come up a bit
short when compared to lego bricks.  The plates are
half that size, making them very difficult to
use in a lego model.
The tank itself was really nice.  Very few speciallized
pieces, except for the tank chassis which reminded me a
bit of lego pirate ship hulls in size and shape.

(...) Ya, lugnet.general is probably best. There's also lugnet.offtopic.debate. You might get flamed there but at least they couldn't justifiably flame you for talking about non-lego. If there was to be a new ng created lugnet.clones, IMO, would (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
