Timelime- For some time now, I’ve been wanting to make a .build.mecha
timeline spanning the history of this group. The problem I’ve has is just how
time consuming it is going through 10k+ posts and determining what was
important in the span of all things mecha. I’d say I’m roughly 10% of the way
done, and it’s far from what I’d like it to be.

Need a hand?

Joint Tech/Prototyping- Sometimes while building I come up with a neat idea
that I can’t currently use, but I know someone else can. I try to take a
photo of it as a source of future inspiration. Joint tech is much the same
way-photos are useful. I’d love to see more posting of radically different
joint tech if anyone has any. Perhaps this section could have it’s own
sidebar button...

I remember your posting some of those a while back. Cool stuff.
I posted a heretical bit of engineering a while back, didn’t get much interest:
Why you should keep your tires

oh, and Soren, I don’t consider you rude or uncouth.
|
Well then you haven’t spoken to your mom lately :). Did they ever get the
gerbil out?
Sorry, I need to go sleep.

This is EXACTLY what I
was hoping someone would step up and try to do. It was tiring trying to
foster discussion about improvement and receiving no replies.
|
It’s because you’re too nice about it. Be more aggressive.
| |
Also, if you spot any outdated links I’m always up for fixing them if you
know the new location. I hate seeing dead links as much as the next person.
Drop me an email-I do get them.
|
Cool, I’ll go check the links and make a list when I get up tomorrow.

Regarding the Lego Mecha Hall of Fame-here’s what I have been told: The
Founders took a bit of a sabatical in order to deal with school and life in
general. It takes time to co-ordinate anything run by comittee and they were
unable to reach a concensus regarding the future version of the site before
going their seperate ways this past fall. Expect to see more activity soon.
Anything else you want to know needs to be directed to their email address.

Okay. I just wish something had been posted to that effect. I’m more annoyed
that nobody said anything than that they took a break.
