I think that as more people buy and begin using LEGO Studio, there are going to be more films posted and talked about on LUGNET. I'd like to propose the following new groups: lugnet.studios - the 'theme group', for discussion of the sets themselves. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
