As a small town, the old timers would sit outside their homes waving to and
welcoming new-comers regardless of their origin and without expectation.
Things moved slowly and the town prospered. Everyone was relatively civil.
Sure, there was the occasional tiff, but nothing too serious. Everyone seemed
to know everyone.
As more people moved to this utopian LEGO society, more infrastructure was
necessary to support them - wider roads, new subdivisions, more regulations
and of course law enforcement (the sheriff cant cover all of the expanded
territory by himself now, can he?). A large city becomes fragmented. People
move to the suburbs where they find the conveniences particular to their
needs without having to resort to trips to the inner city. The sense of
community felt in the small town is lost. The suburbs become their own
individual communities with only occasional contact or trade between them
other than within the inner city.
LUGNET is not the same small town that it used to be. It is no longer the
community that it used to be (good, bad, right or wrong). It appears to be
suffering from an identity crisis. Is LUGNET a LEGO community site intended
for the discussion, marketing, and showcasing of LEGO bricks, sets and
creations or a gateway site pointing to separate LEGO communities where that
discussion, marketing and showcasing is more acceptable to the populations?

Duane,
Well said...I think youve captured things beautifully here... and I think
everybody needs to read your comments, and think about what it means.

I remember you coming on board LUGNET as a newbie and have watched you grow both in your building abilities and your contributions to the community. It is (...)
