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 can’t cover all of the expanded
territory by himself now, can he?).

This is often claimed, but I’m not sure if there’s evidence to support it...
it seems to me that there are less posts and posters than there were two
years ago. Perhaps one of the Admins could provide some statistics to
support the alleged growth?

Growth can be defined many ways. One way is number of posts (which -has- dropped
from what it was four years ago). But then, those posters may have become more
concise in their messages. And perhaps individual groups, like robotics, have
formed more comprehensive FAQs. There are tons of factors. I find it
fascinating. I don’t think traffic numbers are a real goal here, or else we’d be
showing off some far more alluring content. ;-)

(Richie’s crude analysis snipped)
I wonder how much of the drop in traffic here is due to the theme-specific
boards like FBTB, classic-castle, classic-space, and bzpower siphoning
posters away from here? I suspect that the influence of these other sites
cannot be discounted.

Any thoughts on carrying feeds of that traffic into their respective LUGNET
newsgroups? I’m not sure why those folks went their own way, but I respect it.
However, in keeping with LUGNET’s purpose, there’s a lot to say for
centralization of the viewability of, or consciousness of, AFOL activity. I
think it’d be nice to cross-communicate - even if it’s just to allow newcomers
to see the outside traffic volume and a synopsis of that group’s
purpose/characteristics (assuming the outside groups didn’t want posts to come
from LUGNET).

Need to keep in mind though, that posts coming in won't be authenticated like LUGNET posts are - but we could just mark them like we do the robotics list... I think it would (...)

| (...) A couple of issues come to mind. First, some of these LUGNET-expatriate groups allow behavior not in-line with LUGNET's ToS. So pulling their traffic into LUGNET would result in LUGNET hosting posts that might violate ToS. Second, the existing (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
