This may sound a little harsh, but I don't think some of you really understand
what it takes to maintain a board in general, and a world-wide based board
like this in particular....

I don't want to speak on behalf of Todd Lehman, but I am quite sure I read that
he needed a break in some of the administration on Lugnet....its amazing that
he was able to run things almost single-handedly up to this point (really
until May)....and looks like he managed to find some help, especially with
the Cool site of the Week reviews....

I don't want to bash Lugnet either, but I haven't received my Lugnet
membership package....but I love this board and if it was needing some
additional financial support, I would donate it to the cause....

Having said that, I am sure that sooner or later Todd will update the new
members (I had to wait 2 weeks for my membership to go into effect)....
and this shouldn't hinder you from joining.

(...) I agree with Ben. I'm amazed that Todd is able to take care of this site. I would loose my mind trying to what he does.

(...) Thanks, Benjamin. I moved recently to a new place, which took a toll on me (physically and emotionally) and also don't yet have a reliable Internet connection at home, so my online time has been spotty lately. There have been some other life (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)

Well, I've kind of written off the membership package; I'm #423, and I've still not recieved the package, but it really doesn't bother me much, because I get so much out of LUGNET that I should really be busy upping my voluntary contribution level (...)

(...) I'm not sure, but the last update took well over a month. There is a break in time between member #1105 and #1106 (May 25 to July 4). And after #1106 there are MANY members that "joined" on July 4. I applied for a membership on June 6 and it (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
