Hi, Eric. I hear what you’re saying.

In retrospect, I shouldn’t have included any specific themes/generes, since these were site-wide issues. Rest assured, .build.mecha wasn’t intentionally excluded, nor was .pirates, .aquazone, .town, .underground, etc.

The only reason that .robotics was included is because the LEGO robotics community is somewhat fragmented due to the lego-robotics mailing list (which is linked with lugnet.robotics).

I then threw in .trains, .technic, .castle, and .space because I started getting cross-posting happy.

Again, .build.mecha wasn’t left out intentionally, and I apologize if the Mecha builders feel slighted by this.

   p.s. The Mecha builders have proudly displayed at every Brickfest/con/ west/xxx, please honor our contribuions by keeping us in the loop, remembered, crossposted, mentioned, linked too, or what ever, please. I’m asking.

Awesome, Eric. Yup, I’ll do my best to include the Mecha builders in any targeted announcements in the future. However, the problem here is that this wasn’t a targeted announcement. In other words, it’s more likely in the future that for these types of announcements, Mecha would be left off along with all the other specific themes/genres.
