 | | Lugnet nominated for a webby award! —Jonathan Lill
|
| | | Just read this: Lugnet is one of six nominees for a webby award in the kids category. While I think that might be pigeon-holing the site, it is an honor. You can go to the site and vote yourself to elct people's choice winners. (URL) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.general) !!

| | | | | | | (...) Sorry, in what way is (URL) propaganda, exactly? It may be presenting information about things that you'd rather it didn't, but that's about it. FUT off-topic.debate (...) There is no way to stop a site from being nominated. ++Lar (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(and I am sure he voted for...) dubya. 'Nuff said? (Not that there is anything wrong with (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

As usual, he doesn't want to discuss his zinger here, (although he (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | | (...) Yeah, obviously it was nominated by people who aren't quite in tune, since the average LUGNET *member* at least (I dunno about poster) is around 30 years old... Either that or they're all old enough to call us kids still :) Oh well... I (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | | (...) A friend of mine had an interesting take on the 'kids' thing. He suggested that, as LEGO appeals to kids, LUGNET also may appeal to kids, even though kids themselves cannot do what we do. i.e. kids like cartoons but can not make them. -Suz (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | | | | First of all, I want to say that as a member of the LUGNET community, I feel honored that the site has been nominated. It is nice to see something so many people put their time into, receiving the recognition it deserves. While some of you are (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | | | | | | | | (...) Yes, the entire community should be proud. The recognition is yours. (I'm still hoping to get a proper 'congratulations to all' on the homepage.) (...) I think it's a fine idea. It's one Todd and I have discussed before. There are many issues (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

They mostly wanted to look at sites with pictures (I think the reasons are obvious!) but (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | To All, (...) I think LUGNET is a primary site for AFOL's, is it not? Just because it is a LEGO related site, it does not mean it is oriented to kids. Far from it. Aren't we all battling this notion that LEGO products are just for kids? (...) Well, (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

Oh definitely-- it IS a matter of opinion, it's just that *I* don't see it as a "kid" category site BECAUSE the majority of people involved aren't what I typically think of as "kids". I mean, if Lugnet was an even distribution of people of all (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

Since the very first Webby Awards, they have had problems (IMHO) choosing valid nominations. They often choose inappropriate (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)
