Actually, I think a Castle World group would have long-term life - it seems
like a natural place to talk about storylines, quibble "as characters" over
borders, etc - I think it would be a cool thing.

As a measure of what I think would belong where...

In castle world and castle:
  links to new CW MOCs.  Obvious.
  comments about CW MOCs - experiences, building tips, "wow cool"s, etc
In castle and NOT castle world:
  non CW MOCs, and commentary
  general castle discussion
  LEGO product and all that surrounds it
  anything not CW.
In castle world and NOT castle:
  story ideas, collaberations, and entreaties to collaberate
  administrivia and associated discussion
  ongoing discussions about characters, stories, MOCs and general banter
    about CW
  semi "in character" offers, threats, discussions et al - as an example,
    I'd love to "advertise" the Blank Shields as a merc group for hire.
NOT in castle:
  Attempts to convert - well-meaning or otherwise, not everyone wants to be in
CW, and I'd hate to see every new MOC or 'fig followed up with a "hey, submit
that to Castle World" - presumably, it'll stay high enough profile that
everyone will be aware of it, and join if they want, or not if they don't.

(...) I think all of that would go into .castle, and I *definitely* think that is where it belongs. After all, if I had a non-CW site, I would surely be allowed to talk about my storyline or characters in .castle - why segregate the people who are (...)

(...) Actually, I think you're right... for whatever reason I was really only considering what people had been pointing out as the 'problem'-- that being a feast of administrative debates, etc., which I think WILL die for the most part...

(...) Well, my knee jerk reaction is "Definitely!". There have been a LOT of posts on Castle World development and potential concepts, to which there has been a lot of negative feedback-- primarily being that it clutters and bogs down lugnet.castle.
