    Re: LEGOFan.net - central community run hub for all areas of the LEGO community. —Steve Runnels
   (...) Finally! Someone made the completely ignorant statement I was waiting for! w00t! Ok, I'll put my piece in here I guess. I think this whole idea is a good one, but it's going to take a LOT of work and participation from the other sites. What (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !

     (...) All that is fine & well, but: a) why can’t LUGNET perform that role? b) I’m concerned about the Lego Group’s involvement; it is still not clear what they expect for their ‘13 pieces of silver’? ;) If Jake wants to capture the “hearts and (...)

      (...) Oh, I understand this. That's part of the "lot of work" that would be involved. How exactly do you implement something like this to the other sites satisfaction? *I* don't know exactly.

      (...) So you won't visit Classic-Castle unless another site links to it? Ok. (URL) you go. Now you don't even have to wait till LEGOFan.net is launched.

      (...) Yeah, thanks, Assthony. The point I was trying to make is that I'm not a castle fan in general. I'm NOT going to root through the entire site to find the *few* things I find interesting.

      (...) Hmm, I guess it was BZPower that didn't feel welcome because of the bionicle bashing. Still with CC, and probably FBTB, LUGNET didn't meet your needs so you made your own.
