As a comparison, I think the fbtb forums are actually much more viable than
the lugnet .starwars forum for Star Wars LEGO discussion. Most of the people
who read .starwars also read fbtb, but there are lots and lots of people at
fbtb who never read lugnet. Of course there are differences--e.g. fbtb
probably skews younger, though there is certainly a significant percentage of
20-somethings and several 30-plus-ers like myself. But for real news of the
Star Wars line and also for discussion of cool MOCs, fbtb is the place. Is
that our ultimate desire for classic-castles.com? Does it hurt the AFOL
community to break off into themed communities like this, or is the community
richer for a variety of forums?

Actually, the .starwars forum used to have quite a bit of traffic, but FBTB
forum kinda killed it. I still read .starwars and never read the FBTB forum. I
think that those kinds of forums are bad for the community personally. They
spilt it up. Plus not being able to get a digest into my mail box means I almost
definitely won’t bother reading it or posting to it. (So with this, I guess I am
saying that the one part of the Classic-castle site that I don’t think is a good
idea is the forum.)

Also, how do you feel about your personal habits? I have been reading two
forums, FBTB and Lugnet, as well as scanning through Brickshelf. Do I add a
third LEGO forum to that? Or does one of them ultimately fall by the
wayside? What other large forums are there--Bionicle Zone, Brickfilms,
1000Steine.de (German language), Bricklink. Any others? (Does L-Draw.org
have a forum? How about ILTCO?) Is it possible to follow all these
different forums? Or is it better to stick with Lugnet where we’ll see more
cross-pollination between themes?

I think it is a bad idea to try and draw conversations away from Lugnet. Lugnet
has a far better format, IMO, for reading, posting, keeping track of. All of
those other sites are more challanging to keep up to date with what is going on.
ILTCO and LDraw currently do not have forums. I think it makes it too difficult
to follow all the forums, so I stick with just the one.

| I totally agree with Jason on this. In the end, I -- and probably many, many people besides myself -- just don't have the time to visit all the many forums that are popping up. I pretty much gave up RTL for Lugnet. I try to occasionally read the (...) (21 years ago, 22-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Hey all, I've been wondering about the forum here versus that at classic-castle.com. Do you think it's better to post at one place, the other, or both. For the last couple of days I've been trying to post there, because I think if that forum is (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)
