Hey folks, What is the limit to usage of lugnet.cad.dat? Is it considered unfair to post thirty models, or fifty, or a hundred? Or is that exactly what it's intended for? Here's what I'm thinking: I currently have 88 of my own models in LDraw, with (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Put up thirty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand if they're all worth looking at. (...) Yup! (...) 88 models * 7 KB per model is two one-hundredths of one percent of the free disk space on the server. :) I'll buy more hard drives (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) In what way was that vague? :-) _Moat_ is their finest work. Even the sequel is good. (25 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It's probably vague in the sense of the ignorant and unforgiving way they handled my religion... :-P Still a good read, though. Although _Legacy of Heorot_ was better, IMO. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) That was a good one. That had a sequel as well, if I am not mistaken. And there was another book dealing with a different planetary system but I don't recall the exact name. "Destiny Road", maybe?. Not as good, at any rate. -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) _Beowulf's Children_? Almost as good, but still just a sequel. I've been waiting for _Destiny Road_ for too long now. Ditto for _Ringoworld Throne_ or whatever. I've decided to stop following sequels, and go for fresh meat again. :-, One book (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I was really disappointed with it. _LOH_ was so good - their best in my opinion - and _BC_ degraded to a kind of cheezy romance in a SF setting. I guess maybe it was better than that, but only just. The only thing about that book that engaged (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
