Actually, people were having online discussions about LEGO for a long time,
before digital images were so prevalent.
But I think it's a matter of preference -- I don't spend nearly as much of my
'LEGO' time looking at MOCs as other people do. I'm more interested in what
people are discussing, what's going on. But maybe I'm a freak.
And again, NNTP isn't 'text' or 'pictures' -- it's a protocol. There's nothing
inherently wrong[1] with an HTML-enabled NNTP client. It's just not as common
as textual communication.
