By gifting you this money, Brad/TLG is showing that he supports and approves of
what you are doing - and in a small way is encouraging to keep up the good
work. By giving the money, assuming you have accepted it, LUGNET is now
supported (I do not mean just financially), albeit in a small way, by LEGO. I
do not think this is a big deal, but I do think the front page should not be
ambiguous about this. To return to just what we had before could be perceived
as being misleading(?):
Welcome to the international fan-created LEGO® Users Group Network! This is a
place for
LEGO® fans of all ages to find information, meet one another, and share ideas.
As an
independent site by fans, for fans, it is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the
LEGO
Company.
I think it is important to be clear, you do not have to be - I just think you
should be.
