If anyone had made that claim two years ago, do you think there would be this
quasi-silent acceptance? People just don't care whether Lugnet lives or dies,
and they have more fun on other forums anyways.

To be fair, I think that's what's being gauged at the moment.

This is correct. I'm also trying not to make a lot of noise about it, so as not
to be overwhelmed right now.

BTW, I have not "announced that unless something happens, Lugnet will be shut
off on Oct 1."

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.

Yes, that's what's happening, among other things.

if *nobody* cared about it, then by all means, it could go away. [...]
But to say that people just don't care isn't accurate. I, for one, care.

I care also. very much.

And there are people just finding out about this site who care a lot, too.

I don't know how to say this without sounding cocky or pompous.....

But I try to make sure that Lugnet is THE place where historical and reference
information about LEGO that is found NOWHERE ELSE (outside of Billund) can be
shared with all the other forumers....

The demise of Lugnet would sure leave a big empty feeling in my life.... and I
am sure the lives of a lot of other AFOLs.

A very concerned (and grateful)...
