Thank you Dave.
I love LUGNET very, very much. I remember life before LUGNET. It was a pretty
lonely LEGO world for me far from any LUG.
I'm very concerned at the consideration of the demise of LUGNET. If it were to
happen, it would be a huge loss to the AFOL community.
Suz, I volunteer to help in any way I can, if you come up with a plan for
keeping it alive.
For smaller groups like technic, or robotics, someone would have to set up a new
site/sites for these groups. CAD could move themselves to LDraw.org, but
lugnet.cad *is* currently the official site for official ldraw.org business.
Currently nominations are open in lugnet.cad for the LDraw Stnadards Committee.
