Okay so this is the last straw.... Since joining into lugnet discussions I've learnt so many new words! (Not that I'm completely clueless), but still! Lookie: Esoteric: Lar and Tim Verklempt: Bianca Nebab Legorgasm: Eric Sophie Pastiche: Kelly (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.general)

(...) Maybe the phrase "a place where most English-speaking communities connect" would be a more accurate term for LUGNET, since "center" does imply the other communities would orbit around LUGNET, which I don't think is accurate. So thanks for (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

I have three questions on highlighting. 1. Can one highlight one's own post? (I’m not a member, so I do not know). 2. Can Admin-A highlight Admin-B's Admin post? (should they be able to?) 3. Should Admins be able to highlight any post in any group? (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Hey, I just wanted to modify the original "LUGNET is pretty much the de facto center of the English-speaking AFOL community." to suggest that we're the center of the non-theme-specific English-speaking AFOL community. Perhaps I'm just being a (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

Hey all, This post is more of a way to collect my own thoughts than it is to express them to everyone, but it seems like the right thing to do since others may share my perspective and be happy to see that they're not alone. Depending on your own (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.general) !

(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| | 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) !!

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 (...)
