I think TBB and flickR have an easier entry. LUGNET is a bit scary to sign up
to, and is certainly a pain in the but to remember your username (member #) and
password (is this even changeable). Actually, I remember it being a lot scary
to join.
The tree structure and searchability make LUGNET worth it. That, and the wealth
of knowledge contained in its history and active users.
Also, how would someone discover LUGNET? I certainly didn't ever put LEGO User
Group into any search engine. However, the main reason I joined wasn't for the
conversations about rotation matrices or any other LDraw this or that, but so I
could show off my MOCs for discussion. The other websites certainly have the
market on MOC discussion.
All of that said, without having joined LUGNET (and recording my username and
password), I would never have been involved with LDraw.
