(...) Good thing number of Ldraw members has nothing to do with number of Ldraw users :) While I agree it would be nice if the two sources matched, unfortunately they serve totally different purposes, and that is unlikely to ever happen. BL has (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) So then, we shall say the same? Both us and BL have long-lived and complicated systems. I never really expected you or DATHeader to instantly change your way of life, but I believe that it is time to consider subtle changes to help bring our (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Not to point fingers or start a flame war but as I recall everytime anyone has suggested that Bricklink change to conform to some other standard, it has been rebuffed by the BL admins. This lack of willingness to compromise has, at least in (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good thing you don't have to agree for the statement to still be true. Ldraw has just over 3 thousand members. BrickLink has nearly 110 thousand. Peeron is great for the one resource that it is most used for - historical instructions on LEGO (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) None of those parts should really be referred to as "axle joiners" or "pin joiners". The only parts that should have those names are the ones that join them end-to-end. These parts are all what a hardware store would recognize as a saddle (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Most of you know my opinion on this one - use BrickLink names. Our community is dispursed enough. We need to work to unify what we can. BrickLink names are the most widely used amongst the community. After all, how many people convert their LDraw (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

With almost all the "Technic Axle Joiner" parts on the Parts Tracker, I'd like to take the opportunity to rationalise the part descriptions which have developed over time as these parts have appeared. Currently we have: 6536.dat Technic Axle Joiner (...) (15 years ago, 22-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
