1. No alternate website ideas. The idea is to improve the venue we have,
not siphon off traffic and nearly kill it like .castle.

I just did some checking before I posted this. I wouldn’t want to post
something incorrect. There have been just as many posts in frequency and number
in .castle as before and after Classic-Castle was created. I would even argue
that there has been more activity in .castle since. I had to go through nearly
1800 posts just to get back to when Classic-Castle was launched in September,
doesn’t feel like .Castle is all that dead.
It was mentioned elsewhere in this thread that discussion of basics would be a
beneficial, and that because it has already been discussed it hasn’t been
discussed again. Because of C-C’s age and design, basic and advanced
construction techniques have been brought up and discussed many times, and
helpful and useful articles, sometimes coming out of these discussions have and
can be posted to the website for future reference.
Classic-Castle has also discovered at least 50 to 100 and maybe even 150 new
AFOLs and TFOLs that did not like or never wanted to post to Lugnet, as their
personal preference was against Lugnet’s design or community. I don’t think
you’d complain about getting 50 or 150 new members to .mecha. I could be wrong
though.
I’m not sure where you got your information that .castle was killed off because
another website was created. Larry P. even commented in the C-C forums that the
website was a perfect compliment, as opposed to competitor, with Lugnet and
Lugnet.castle, and Lar is one of the most pro-Lugnet people I know.
He’s even flat out said that “It hasn’t killed off lugnet.castle the way that
lugnet.starwars was lessened by FBTB... lots of people still post in both places
and there’s healthy traffic back and forth.” Sorry, Lar, if you didn’t want
that quoted.
If you don’t want to make an off-site area for .mecha, that’s fine, but please
don’t deface and shoot down a working and thriving community with such incorrect
blanket statements.

| Like the title says. Give at least three ways to make .mecha a better, more mindblowing newsgroup. No more half-hearted complaints, let's thrash out just what we want to do to rock everybody's moms harder and longer. Just two restrictions I'd like (...)
