This is just not true. I think there are tons of people who care about
LUGNET, but just feel they are not in a position to help out. I run a small
server on this computer in my living room, but don't have the resources
(or the admin skills) to run something like LUGNET. Nor do I have the time -
the Lego project I'm involved in right now has a hard deadline for
completion, and it is consuming a lot of my spare time.
I agree with an earlier poster - to me, the main value of LUGNET is the
NNTP access to the newsgroups. I only use the web interface when someone
posts a URL to an article. But then, I know I'm a dinosaur. :-)
I also agree with being unhappy about the fragmentation of the Lego online
community. I'm supposed to be a castle fan, but don't have the time to get
used to the castle-specific sites (and dislike having to use web access - my
system, and my browser, are very old). I want all of my Lego news and
information to come from one quick session. As such, I haven't seen many
pictures of new castle MOCs for a while. I do see lots of other pictures
(like the NMRA show pics), however.
