My main focus as a builder is castle, and I am not happy about the movement
of activity off LUGNET and onto classic-castle.com. I just don’t have time to
check a bunch of different forums - especially lame message boards that can’t
compare to the functionality of LUGNET.
I guess some people would rather be a big fish in a small pond.

Now, let me first say that I am against the fracturing of our community - I like
the concept of Lugnet, and wish to support it.
But let me also say that Classic-Castle has done more for the community than
hurt it. Right now, something like 75% of the CC membership is new to the
community - as in not from Lugnet. If CC didn’t exist, LEGO Castle would be
in the same state it was in before CC came around - on the brink of dying. And
lastly, CC is more than just a new forum - it is a group of admins who sit
around all day thinking about what we can do to make LEGO Castles better, to
improve our community. Shortly, CC has done what lugnet.castle was unable to
do.
But one of the key points in all this is that it helped highlight some of the
problems with lugnet. The guy who first suggested CC have its own forum was
Troy Cefaratti, who is an avid lugnetter! Why? Because it is a clear and
simple message to the admins at Lugnet that things need to grow and change to
fit the changing community.
And guess what!
Todd saw what CC was able to do. And at BrickFest, he reconnected with the
community and has since begun permanent chances to the way Lugnet is run that
will enable Lugnet to grow and change. I would suggest the spacers not form a
theme site because in a few months, Lugnet will be making the changes necessary
to become the site it could be.
Lastly, I don’t ask that everyone love Classic-Castle, or that all castle people
meet there (rather than lugnet.castle) - but please, do not insult our site
because you don’t agree with it.

| (...) Exactly Lenny. In economics this is called Pent-up Demand (well, ok, I think that's what it's called. It's been too long since I actually took economics to remember the exact term). There was a need that was going unfulfilled and the admins of (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) I would like to second these statements, but from a different perspective. I rarely build anything space-related, and I almost never post here. But I like being able to see what you space guys are building and talking about through LUGNET. If (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
