I think that both of these are good ideas. Maybe a lugnet.index.*
hierarchy? Where all messages are magically appearing based on some
criteria?
I don't think user-level support is necessary and the UI would be a
mess to put together. But certain system-wide index groups, like the
lego.com or lugnet.com ones, might not be a bad idea.
This could be a way to monetize Lugnet: charge money to have an index
set up. For example the Bricksmiths might get one...
