(...) (snip) Bearing in mind that I adore LUGNET, I think this post and this way of thinking is extremely important for the future of our community. All developers within ear shot should think about it. I'm barely a graphic designer but I would (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I agree with Jon here. LUGNET is a good thing, it allows us to discuss serious aspects of our hobby with other like-minded folks, but its time to start looking ahead to integrating all of the wonderful community resources out there in a (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Hmm, I don't know, guys. I see a lot of the above mission either already being taken care of by LUGNET, or being something that LUGNET could grow into. However, I do love the idea of a single point of entry for newbies...Eight or ten years ago (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) LUGNET leaves a lot to be desired as a single point of entry, I think. It's confusing to navigate - especially for newbies, and doesn't do a good job of linking out to other sites from obvious places - ie guide.lugnet.com/shop doesn't even (...)

(...) While this may be the "ideal" scenerio, it is also the one that is least likely to happen. Todd and Suz have done a great thing here with Lugnet. Lets keep in mind, however, that Lugnet was SUPPOSED to be the all-encompasing site for Lego fans (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX) !

While I was trying to say it nicely, Troy I commend you for cutting to the chase and saying what needed to be said in public. I agree 100% with your post. That said, I hope people are interested in discussing this topic of integrating resources, and (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Community involvement is the key. I posted all this because I don't really care who picks up the ball: Lugnet or whomever. I'm happy to help out, too. But the ideas and intentions are sound community policy. -paul (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) You're right, Tim... I don't think there can be any single point of entry for people to discover the LEGO fan community online. There's too much, and it's too diverse. From the description I've read here, WorldLUG actually seems like a way to (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I think Tim's idea to talk about this at BrickFest PDX this month is a great one. I do see the need for this WorldLUG concept--but I'm such a lazy guy that I really, really want the easy solution to work...to me, that solution involves using (...)

I think we have a good promise of cooperation and support from Todd, and the timing is perfect to discuss this at BrickFest. Its too late to get a session on the event (...)
