Yep...creations as always good, and I'm working
on starting a few projects as of now. (the
dragon project is coming along very nicely
as I devised an awesome angles wing system
utilizing no hinges. Just have to finish the
legs and tail... and I need more tentacle
pieces :)
As for stories, I'll eventually get a
few of them out as well...(someday...)

I personally hate it when people try to
place restraints on a particular group
just because they feel it would serve
well for compartmentalization, and to add,
they're rarely post to .castle, so it's
basicaly intrusion to me. This might be
just the discussion to unite the community,
but instead we get people trying to divide
it using the whole gaming idea to say
it's off charter. (but since this is not
completely a game but a realm, it would not
really fit within .fun.gaming's charter
either.)

And more players might decide to participate in
.castle and henceforth, more posts about creations,
ideas, MOCs, stories, etc. What does the castle
community have to lose by these posts? If anything,
I think this discussion shold evoke interest
with newbies or lurkers. (we need more ideas!)

Well, even if they decide for switching it
to .gaming, I'm going to remain ardent on
keeping it here. The charter speaks of
ideas and inspiration, and this project
is full of it.
(and I don't see why there was some
questions about Tatanya's story post.)

I'm not sure why some are up for banning
roll call posts? Why not ban .debate since
that has little relevancy to lego? What
about theme groups that haven't had posting
since forever? IIRC, debate threads get
pretty large, so why go against castle
threads? (at least some form of positive
community discussion is taking place.) If
someone hates the fact of a community
project, they shouldn't really bother
to post at all.

Whoa...don't go that far.
Would everyone just listen for a sec? If
more of these posts occur in .castle
regarding incorrect placement or discussion
or irrelveant posts, it might only serve to
scare off potential lurkers. Let's just
calm down for a second and assert our main
priorities:
1. Making .castle an inviting place to post,
and getting more lurkers to <delurk> This
will keep .castle active.
2. Keeping interesting discussion where it
belongs, here. We need more inspiration,
stories, ideas and building techniques.
3. More leadership. We need a castle
curator- badly. Someone should be
elected to maintain the sidebar. Any
takers? I'd be happy to help.

Hey, some of this really needed to be
addressed. Nice to see you're standing
for what you believe.
