Hiya,

lugnet.fun has been activated as a newsgroup.  (Previously it was an empty
category with subgroups only.)  The main reason for its activation is (1)
as a place for LEGO-related "silliness" or amusement -- i.e., sort of an
"on-topic" version of lugnet.off-topic.fun; and (2) as a sort of catch-all
place for LEGO-related amusements or activities which aren't covered by any
of the more focused subgroups.  Here is a recent example -- in fact the one
which broke the proverbial camel's back and prompted the group's activation:

   http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/fun/?n=5352

Judging from the number of times the question "Do we need an ON-topic.fun
group?" has come up in the past year, this group may be a much-needed
"missing link."

May much silliness spew forth from it.  :-)
