Yes, let's bring it back!!! It was one of the original reasons I began
surfing LUGNET. I agree with most of Bruce's suggestions (below) with
embellishments noted.

This is a great idea. Perhaps CLSotW could go to monthly, or every third or
fourth week, and Cool MOC would be in the weeks between. This would
overcome, firstly, the "finite number of Lego fan sites" problem mentioned
already in this thread, and secondly, the point you make below, that there
are _zillions_ of cool MOCs by some people.

The Cool MOC could be categorized into genres, but not too fragmented (this
would be VERY subjective to organize). I'd suggest something along the
lines of the TLC marketing lines, like Sculpture, Town, Space, Castle, ...
that gets cumbersome pretty quickly, doesn't it?
Or maybe have the top 3 Cool MOC's of the week?

Limiting the voting to members would work best to prevent ballot box
stuffing. Could there be a "voting only" Lugnet membership, that would be
free? How would Lugnet prevent someone from signing up for multiple
memberships so they could vote more than once? That'd be pretty sad, IMHO,
paying extra to stuff the ballot box.

I had some other thoughts, but they're gone now... Such is the mind of
someone about to be downsized. I am still willing to devote some
time/energy in this effort, as CLSotW was one of my favorite places on the
Internet until it fell into disrepair.
