I fully embrace the idea of a more centralized resource to help channel users
and information throughout the LEGO online world. But I can't see how this
implementation, as I currently understand it, would do that.

I strongly recommend publishing a detailed "mission statement" and specification
of what functionality (not necessarily code) the LEGOFan team intends to
develop, BEFORE development gets much further along. In addition, I feel it's
important to state as soon as possible (if it isn't already too late) the level
of expectation you intend to solicit and receive from owners of existing web
resources (such as Lugnet, FBTB.net, Classic Castle, BZPower, 1000steine,
BrickLink, BrickShelf, and LEGO's discussion boards, to name a very few). If
this is to be a community-owned project, the community should know what that
project is.

Looking forward to hearing more details about LEGOFan.net.

As Jake explained LEGOfan (the concept, the reasons for it) to me, I think its a
great idea. It coincides with much of what the WorldLUG concept posted, so I'm
encouraged others are thinking along the same lines. I'm also concerned with the
divide this appears to have stirred up - and think better judgement could have
been used leading up to and making an initial post.

I still haven't caught up with the entire thread since the first post last
Wednesday. While I agree with much of the principles behind the project, I have
a considerable amount of reservation on the approach taken thus far. I agree
100% with Kelly's post, and second his call for answers.
