I only want to preserve the existing CW as an archive, that’s all.

   CW should be able to adapt to the changing situation of the LEGO community at large, and the castle community in particular. I think a cosmetic change would be very beneficial. Perhaps as a compromise certain elements could be maintained, or even a link to the archived webpages.

No compromise is necessary, we could start from scratch. It could be totally revamped -- a NEW Castle World.

   It should be very easy and minimal.

Yeah, I have to agree.

   Also, a revamped CW site could include (just a brain storm, here) - a message board for the *exclusive* use of being a place of IOM-esque story-telling (still including links back to lugnet.castle). THUS, IOM-CW type action doesn’t have to clog .castle or .castle.org.cw - but .castle isn’t in any way abandoned in favor of a seperate site.

Two problems here: a) we don’t to my knowledge have coding privileges on ozbricks (which is to say, the ability to create a message board), and b) the “cw” sub-newsgroup is precisely for whatever uses a CW community may have for it. If “castle” people do not like it, they can skip “cw” newsgroup postings.

   This would also allow for an easy way for people to visually see the stories taking place, in a way that steps out of the Starship problem where gameplay/story telling is done via private email. This would help make it aparent how the game/story is played, and how people could join in, etc.

Again, with FTX I think we can use the “cw” sub-newsgroup to achieve the same ends. Am I somehow missing what you mean by “visually see the stories taking place”?

   And lastly, did you get Anthony’s permission before posting the private email?

Yes, of course, he knows all about it. I think it’s in the body of the post: “It would be my impulse to post these two emails to lugnet: your email to me, and also this response. Do you agree?” He agreed privately, prompting my posting of the two emails. Posting his agreement seemed a bit much.

   One last last thing.. perhaps we should start a new thread?

You’re making it hard by making me have to respond to this one.

Richard, First let me say that I'm glad you stepped into the CW admin role when you did, and am glad the site has been preserved. But I don't think we need to respect the wishes of people who haven't been apart of the community for 1 year +. Nothing (...) (21 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.castle.org.cw, FTX)
