To be fair, I think that's what's being gauged at the moment. It's true that in
recent years, Lugnet's importance as *the* place for Lego discussion has gone
down. If I understand correctly, a big part of what's happening now is that Suz
is trying to figure out who'd be affected, and how much, if Lugnet were to shut
down or switch gears. And yes, if *nobody* cared about it, then by all means, it
could go away.
You're right that there probably won't be as much public outcry for preserving
Lugnet as there might have been several years ago. The community has grown since
then. But to say that people just don't care isn't accurate. I, for one, care.
