I would like to hear some feedback on this as well. Is there a problem with
dedicating a commercial site to the Lego product? So far it looks like
there isn't, I haven't got any e-mails from TLC. Can't be 100% sure because
there seems to be a problem with the Brickbay e-mail server just dropping

Just now I wanted to reopen an incident with our webhost which was opened
couple months ago regarding this issue telling them it's still a problem but
they seem to have a problem with their problem-reporting software.
