Probably not worth mentioning. It's a personal thing. I cringe every time
I see term AFOL because it looks like AOL and, as the person who coined it
several years ago pointed out, it looks like "a fool." It also reminds me
of at least two army acronyms. I can't help thinking all of those every
time I see it. It's too bad that ALF (Adult LEGO Fan) conjurs up visions of
the 80's sitcom of the same name.
Another reason was that, although LUGNET currently is most appealing to
adults (and this is by design at this stage in its development), it's really
not an adult-only thing. We don't want people to get the wrong impression
that it's only for adults, because it's really for everyone regardless of
age.
