   Is there anything significant on this proposed change that you feel hasn’t been brought to light yet?

I just wanted to drive home my point one more time before I leave this topic.

I see a definite distinction between LUGNET the LEGO resource and LUGNET the AFOL community. That’s not to say that the two don’t overlap, but they don’t overlap completely. I think there is great value in keeping LUGNET the LEGO resource all about LEGO, such as a Brickshelf or a Peeron (and I would include all of the on-topic groups as a LEGO resource). And I also think that there is great value in fostering an AFOL community that has nothing to do with LEGO except for the fact that it is what brought the community together in the first place. I believe that the best way to cultivate and promote both is to allow them to coexist separately so that they don’t interfere with each other.

LUGNET is growing. I think that now is the time to take measures to insure that it remains a valuable resource for everyone well into the future.

There. I’m done:-)
