Hmm...I could see arranging to place the Alpha team in the build.military
newsgroup, but yes, It also goes with aquazone. Unfortunately, a lot of
the newsgroups get very dislam post ratings, i.e western, undergrooung,
basic, need I go on. Perhaps if Lugnet were to scrap a lot of the low posting
newsgroups, and arrange a less compartmentalized posting, but keep a lot
of the larger grous such as Castle, Trains, Space, Cad, Robotics, Technic,
Town, etc, and replace lower groups such as .underground, with .military, or
.fantasy, or other more suitable topics, I think posting would definitely pick
up, and perhaps, there would be less confusion on where to post (and possibly
more room for lugnet to grow)

Yeah, that does make sense. Even though it is a product, but according to
my philosophy (I think others will definitely differ), I consider something a
theme, if most of the parts are compatible with each other. Sure, pens and
cards can do that, but I'm talking about bricks here. I agree that
bionicle does work well with other parts if you use them right, but Galidor
is even worse than bionicle, due to its high quotiency of overspecialized
parts, that can't combine with each other unless you want to make something
that is (how should I say this...) that would make picasso blush...

Quantity does highlight, but in which type? Most of the posts for bionicle
are either in opposition to the concept, or argument between fans in which
bionicle can kick the others arse. (although it used to be entertaining
to read somewhat questionable comments on brickset, but then the moderators
got involved, which is a gpd thing, no doubt)
Yes, there is some merit to bionicle, (I have found some parts that could be
useful in my projects such as armor plating, weaponry elements and such), so
I think bionicle deserves recognition and rightfully so, but Galidor is
Bionicle to the extreme, and really ventures so far from Lego, that I don't even
want to think about it (although they would make great targets for my
Potato Gun...)
