(...) I completely agree. (...) Well, Lugnet serves as A hub, certainly - for a subset of the total online LEGO audience. That's not to say there couldn't be a more comprehensive one created. Right now all I've seen are fairly vague proposals... I (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Classic-Castle is a nice site, but its forum software is nasty. How did this "BB" style forum software take over the web? Ugh. It's a lot like a trying to have a conversation using a *literal* bulletin board and post-it notes. And Young People (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think getting the buy-in should happen very early or else people in the other groups are going to feel as if they are second class citizens in the process. I think the fact that it was only posted to LUGNET just highlights the fact that (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Maybe they assumed we'd see it here. I can kind of see the first announcement being here, since Lugnet does act as a de facto hub, but future developments will require a lot of serious outreach before anything goes much further - from whatever (...)

(...) I do find it strange that this announcement was only posted to LUGNET and not any of the other LEGO related boards. If this is meant to bring together all online LEGO communities I would think that the announcement would be made on the other (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm not so sure that it shouldn't be the other way around. Fans of specific themes have gone out and organized their own sites because Lugnet wasn't enough for them, for whatever reason. I'd say well over half the original lugnet.castle posts (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
