Hi all, I just made a club for fellow maniacs to chat on in Yahoo. It is members only, so follow the directions when you get there to join. I hope it is useful for making group chats that everyone can participate in, not just the people on AOL like (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

(...) Hmm. Time will tell. Also, LUGnet is not on Usenet, so unless you find out about it, or use a seach engine, it is a bit more difficult to locate. (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

| | Hello
|
|
Um, testing the new new thingy here. I thought I really wouldn't like this place, but I do! I don't have to killfile and filter out all of the auctions to read the stuff I wanna hear. I kinda feel sorry for RTL though. The poor group's going to end (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

I must agree with Thomas, I too, really like the LUGNET logo. Kudos to you, Todd and Suz. Thomas Main wrote in message <36193B12.B9883F13@a...te.edu>... (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

I really like the new LUGNET logo. I must admit it makes me a little dizzy to stare at it though :) Is there a name for static images that have the appearance of motion? (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

Hi all, The homepage I was making about my favorite LEGO theme, Fabuland, is finally placed on the net. Because there was little information about this theme (not at The LEGO Group nor at other sites) I made a personal homepage for this theme. The (...) (26 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

Thanks for making me a beta 2 tester, Todd. This resource I think will be really great. It might not be your intention to replace rtl, yet I do like the fact that someone oversees things here. I'm learning to like separate discussion groups. At (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

We'll see how many people are as excited about all of this as we are. :) I don't get the sense there will be any kind of momentous en masse movement from RTL to here, and this wasn't really designed as to be a replacement for RTL anyway...

(...) It might be a while. Some people don't want to change their habits. And others can't, due to firewall issues. (Todd - the web interface would certainly help here!) And, although Todd is (well as far as I can tell) a good person and doing this (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

I am anxiously anticipating having the rest of rtl start using LUGNET's newsgroups. I think it will be very exciting once everyone gets onboard! When is the announcement planned? (the weekend might be good because fewer people read and everyone (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.announce)

(...) In late-August and through early-to-mid-September there was an "alpha" test of this newsserver. I think there was also a first "beta" and that this is technically the second "beta." In any case, Mike was very helpful and that's why he's proud. (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.announce)
