  Identifying AFOLs on LUGNET
 
I had this idea last night, and I was wondering if it makes sense (I'm sure I'll hear from pro's and con's). Here it is: What if Lugnetter had a 4 digit code to identify them from a Lego collector perspective. Here's what I mean: 1st digit: (collect (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I like the LEGO Geek Code better, it is more expressive. However it may be a bit harder to decode. (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I don't know about the Geek code. I think it would take less time to read someones profile (personal info) in paragraph form that to try to translate a Geek code into data one can understand. You would always need a cheat sheet of sorts, and (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Heh, if LGC caught on, it'd probably slowly become second nature-- at least to the things you were interested in seeing. But I have to agree, it's very intimidating at first glance. Lots of symbols and wierdness floating around. Now, what (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
