Excuse my ignorance, but what about those websites, like FBTB and
Classic-Castle, that want their visitors to physically visit their forums to
see the latest threads so that they could also visit the main website, to
view the main page and see the news that has been posted there at the expense
of time and effort by the websites administrators?

What about those websites who want to show off the latest pics of the newest
sets, like FBTB and Classic-Castle, who would like the traffic to their
sites, and who want deals with LEGO to display the latest and greatest
pictures?

Not in direct response to your post, Anthony, but as general info:

LUGNET also has access to many of the latest pics of newest sets, but I've
chosen not to pursue getting them into our database in a hurry. This is for a
number of reasons, including:

- It's time consuming, and seems redundant. I haven't the interest or
competitive drive to hunt down 'hot' info for LUGNET, while others (with
their own sites) do, and provide a great service to the community that way.

- The LUGNET set database is more of a long-term project that I'd like to
see focus on a thorough history. So, I'm more inclined (assuming I had time) to
enter 35 old DUPLO sets, never before mentioned (even if they're not so
newsworthy).
