Jonathon & All, (...) section? And with things like Teenwire, the propoganda (SP?)site from Planned Parenthood? Do we need these kinds of awards with other nominees like that? I think LUGNET is far beyond those other sites. Scott S. -- (...) (24 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 (...)

(...) 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 (...) (24 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 (24 years ago, 27-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, (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) You sound like you don't think that it belonged in the Kids category, but the evidence you offer is irrelevant. Sure, I'm 28, but that doesn't mean I'm not a kid who plays with Lego. -JDF (24 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".

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 (...) (24 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
