I have to agree.

I just discussed something similar with the folks over at brickset.com -
eventually they agreed.  Even though it started as a subset of technic, it
has expanded and is truly it's own Lego theme.

Now all of their R/C sets are listed together.  Previously about half were
in their Technic section - and the other half were in some other group.

Granted, many sets of theme are Technic flavored (those with mostly • technic
parts), and many are slighly Town flavored (those with a minifig, pull • back
motor and mostly bricks/plates).

But the theme still hasn't got its own LUGNET newsgroup, and it's one of • Lego'
biggest theme at the moment (it single handedly replaced all the small • Technic
cars of the 90's, and the whole "Town Race" subtheme), and is home of all • of
Lego's RC cars.

I wouldn't make a big deal of it, but come on, FABULAND, DUPLO, PRIMO and • heck,
even CLIKITS and (god forbid) GALIDOR got their own newsgroups!

So what do you think? Once created, .town and .technic could both link to • it
(same as how .town links to train, .space links to .starwars, etc)

Thanks for listening.

(...) Yup. I would also add that creating a .technic.racers subgroup is a BAD idea - Racers is in no way a subtheme of Technic, as many sets have nothing to do with Technic. (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
