I agree it's a neat plug but they sure could of went about it a better way. Could it be someone there (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

To someone who has no idea of what LUGNET is (I forget - does the page even show the word LUGNET or just the logo?) this is just a neat picture. No URL, no TM, no nothing. So for people who have never (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | I believe this is indeed the answer that many people are overlooking. The logo was probably copied by a fan of both LEGO and LUGNET and just wanted to do something fun for the group. While I agree that not giving any indication of where the logo (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

It'd be a shame if an in-joke cost someone their job, but considering how much time and effort Todd + Suzanne put into (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
