Hi all, More than a month ago I applied for Lugnet membership. It took some time to get the money transfer organized (I'm no paypal member, and other means where simply not acceptable because of the banking fees involved), but Rene of 1000steine.de (...)

The story you are about to hear is true, but the names were changed to protect the innocent.....

(...) The best example by far was the Toy Fair. Larry posted his pictures to .announce and to .lego, giving it only a +1 (since .announce is +1 and .lego is -1). He also posted it on a Friday (or so I seem to recall), and IIRC a bunch of MOC's had (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Your quote doesn't refute my statement, nor does it support yours. I would say that Lugnet is home to the LEGO Community, and that MOCs are a key importance to that community. Do you think that is incorrect? Since MOCs are the clearest (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
