This is just what we need! A place where AFOL's can find each other on line!
:-) (Sorry for the sarcasm)
It looks like a neat overall concept. I may even sign up just because I
imagine there will be one or two AFOL's that might find this site before any
other AFOL oriented site. People use search engines in different ways and this
one might be at the top of the list for some people.
I don't think the AFOL section will be overly popular though because we have
already found each other in many cases. The couple of stragglers that are
found will quickly move over to LUGNET or a similar site and the meetup.com
services won't be used much for AFOLs.
Oh I wasn't supprised to see Larry P. already found this and signed up ;-)
