I think this would be a great Idea.  I would guess that it would just
be Names and Pictures so we would know who we were talking to.

Personally, I would find such a page funny.  I recently checked out a
page with pictures from a LEGOfest and was amused to see what people
looked like.  But I would hardly say that such a page is needed.  If
anybody bothers to maintain such a site, sure, go ahead.

I would guess that you would have to be careful though because there
are wacko's out there and if you put up a picture of someone under
age and then people went back to lugnet you would see their E-mail
and then you have the potential for a bad situation.  I hate to say
it but there are bad people in this world.

You are probably right about this, regretably.

In addition to pictures and names (and maybe email), you could
potentially allow the user to associate a link with their pic. At the
end of the link (on thier site) they could putwhatever contact/bio
information they wished... this could alleviate any concern about
culpability.

For example... I provide various bits of info about myself on my
homepage (below), and surely another LEGO website could not be held
accountable for linking to my site (especially with my
explicit/submitted) permission.

(...) How about a place where people submit minifigs that look like them? I have made a minifig of myself, take a look here to see what I mean: (URL) could avoid any "bad stuff," and nobody would ever know if you were an AFOL or not. Greg (...)
