| (...) Fear not, Political Correctness(TM) is not encroaching on LUGNET. I'm not sure how to equate "be respectful of each other" with my definition of political correctness, which is closer to "you must value what I value." I certainly don't expect (...)

| | | |  | | Language Choices and LUGNET
|
| The issue of profanity on LUGNET has raised many hackles, and I can't say I blame most of the people who have expressed unhappiness. The rules are vague, the punishments appear somewhat arbitrary, the entire reason for having language guidelines (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, FTX) !!

| That "LEGO Company" thing never really took with me. It was TLG all the way. Well, now we can go "back", it looks like. (URL) my perspective: Yay! -- joshua (21 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I'm sorry, but are you implying that Lego was first made in Ohio, like the baseball bat comes from Cooperstown, NY? Maybe it is near Samsonite! (21 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Hi, you may be right. Pair has a similar traceroute and the same timeout at hop #11. It's not temporary. It's since weeks. Ronald (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

Not sure why it's taking you so long to connect though. Especially since once (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) My first guess would be Pair. Both Lugnet and Peeron are hosted through Pair, whereas BrickLink, BrickShelf, FBTB, and others are hosted elsewhere. It's possible that Pair is having a temporary issue with their network. To test, you might be (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| Hi all, I didn't find a better group, so I post it here: I have problems reaching www.lugnet.com and www.peeron.com. It takes a lot of time till any page begins to load. But when a page starts loading, it goes quick. My connection is fast, via 2 (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) That was my guess too. If it were Lego doing the organizing, they'd probably aim for a larger "vacation area" spot (balanced with cheap real estate of course), but considering how this looks more privately run, it's probably what they could (...)

I would imagine there's a slightly smaller following for Lego than there is for football, baseball, or basketball (HoF in Springfield, MA, (...)

| (...) That's what I was thinking also. Why would you put it in the middle of "no where" (no offense to anyone that lives in that area) but you would want it in a location that people would visit on a trip or something. I also find it strange that (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
