lugnet.theme.*
==============

I hope I don't sound pretentious by doing this, but I'm wondering if
this could be a possibility?  I forgot if we talked about something
similar to this during Beta testing... If it was discussed, I forgot
about the reasons for or against the creation of such groups.

   For example:

   lugnet.theme.aquazone
   lugnet.theme.boat
   lugnet.theme.castle
   lugnet.theme.pirate
   lugnet.theme.space
   lugnet.theme.train
   lugnet.theme.town
   lugnet.theme.wildwest

- would this be a good idea to give people areas to talk about
   specific themes rather than clutter up other discussion groups or
   would it create more news groups that wouldn't receive much traffic?

- has Todd thought (and I sure he has) about creating  a hierarchy
   similar to above, but doesn't feel like it's time (or have the
   time) to implement it?

- what are (were) the pro's and con's to doing this?

I originally had things broken down this way back in early August, but it came
up with 20+ groups, and was discouraged by many people from having separate
theme groups...  It's really only the Trains and Robotics folks who have a
whole "genre" to talk about, IMO...  I'm a Space fan and would enjoy a space
group, but Space is too small of a "thing" compared to Trains, and Space is so
darned similar to Aquazone...

Maybe in 6 months . . . . . .

(...) I'm a castle & pirate person, so I feel a little unsure of where to start up these types of discussions... I've enjoyed the "Guarded Inn" discussion & Mike Stanley's triumph of finally obtaining one. :) But it'd be nice to have a place whine (...) (26 years ago, 11-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Actually, for me, I like reading about what others have done. Often it gives me ideas across themes, because building bridges restaurants, inns and pubs are all plausible in just about any theme that has minifigs. One thing that might be cool (...)
