Hi Lenny & Ben,
would it make sense to have a category "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (local)" for
all the XyzLUGs and another one "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (worldwide)" for e.g.
LUGNET, LEGOFan.org etc.?
We should try to keep it quiet obvious to people who are looking for a community
which meets their expectations. Though probably the question whether online or
not isn't that important to these people, at least not during a first search for
ANY community in which they would like to participate.
Leg Godt!
Rene
