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. Yet at the same time I can't help but
think this would actually bring traffic to those sites. I don't visit FBTB, or
Classic-Castle EVER at this point. But I would, if I had a portal straight to
the good stuff. At which point I would be inclined to browse around the rest of
the site.

(...) 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. I believe there is also a link to this castle site in the castle section of Lugnet. --Anthony (23 years ago, 15-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
