There are a few people interested in running/helping with a continuation of Cool LEGO Site of the Week, and I know I'm not alone in wanting it back. Let's begin a fresh conversation on this! Here are some prior comments: (7 URLs) (I was upset when (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish, lugnet.general) !!

(...) CLSoTW should definetly be brought back! Since it's been gone, I've felt like I've missed out on some of what the online community has to offer. When CLSoTW was running before, I'd check out see sites that I'd normally not visit. With that (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

I'd definitely love to see the CLSotW come back. A few thoughts: 1. I agree that every other week might be better just from workload and quality of nominated sites angles. 2. Cool Site could alternate with Cool MOC, to get a chance to honor those (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Some thoughts about CLSotW: * The rate of new LEGO sites coming online is quite a bit slower than one per week, I believe. As a result, you will soon find that there aren't enough new sites to prevent having to award the prize to an old site. I (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

My thoughts on the CLSotW are as follows: The CLSotW should remain weekly. The fresh content is something that will keep people coming back to LUGNET. While it might require more work, I think that could be avoided depending on how it was set up. (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

First, I must say, hooray! I was deep in my dark ages when I first came across Lugnet.
