I would dislike this for several reasons:

1.  The current schema is more appropriate...  .space is for the "official"
space theme, and .build.mecha tends to focus more on MOC building techniques

3.  erm, that's it, I guess.

(...) First, that's not true. Little of the discussion on .space is about the official space theme, although you're right that mecha tends to focus on building techniques than .space Second, consider this: How many LUGNET users would be extremely (...)
