But that’s fine, because people who don’t read .aquazone (and do read
LUGNET) are rational actors who act as they do because they *don’t care*
about Aquazone. They have chosen which MOCs they consider worthy of their
interest by their selections of newsgroups to read.

So, are you saying that only irrational actors read .aquazone ? :-)

Adding a vignette newsgroup would only make sense if there were LUGNET
readers who would be interested in any vignette---from Space to
Scala---even if it relates to themes in which the reader has no
other interest.

That’s exactly my point. I believe there is an interest in the topic -
regardless of “theme”. As Larry indicated, time will tell.
| |
Such a newsgroup would only succeed if posters bothered
with the extra work of remembering that there were a vignette newsgroup
and of posting to it.
|
Doesn’t that apply to any newsgroup? I don’t think it’s that much extra work.
There are many other newsgroups that people seem to have ‘forgotten’ (or at
least haven’t posted to in awhile).
I guess the question is really what constitutes having a newsgroup under .build?
The current .build newsgroups are, of course:
Ancient
Architecture
Contests
Mecha
Micro-scale
Military
Minifigs
Mosaics
Schleim
Sculpture
Storage
I think we can all agree that these “categories” are intended for
ideas/MOCs/discussion that may (or may not) be of an established LEGO “theme”.
Vignettes don’t really fit well into any of these categories, and are
subsequently posted to various other groups, hence my request for a separate
newsgroup.
I am posting this to lugnet.general for others to have a chance to share their
opinion. Granted, there are other, more important posts (new CEO, moving ops to
China, etc.) but, I would like to hear what others think. So... if you enjoy
viewing vignette MOCs and would like to see a specific newsgroup to showcase
them, or otherwise, please reply.
Thank you.
Nelson
