As you’ve likely read by now, the LEGO Group has announced a new set -
the TTX intermodal car. Head over to LEGO Fan
to see some exclusive pictures of the new set.
When you arrive at the new LEGO Fan site, you’ll notice something different.
After many long nights, the LEGO Fan Organizing Team is happy to announce that
LEGOfan.org version 2.0 is live!
The new site is a total rewrite of the code, and gives the site a much stronger
foundation for growth today and into the future.
Just a few of the new features include:
• Registration ability
• Ability to post and edit your own links in the LEGO Links Directory
• Forums (mostly targeted to newbie type discussion)
• Better “Google Friendliness”, which should help ensure that we’re found in
Google better over time
• Private area for Ambassadors
• Easier ability for new content and articles to be added
In other LEGO Fan news, we were reviewing the traffic stats from the old site
and discovered that the AFOLs comic (English version) has been downloaded nearly
85,000 times!
With your help the new LEGO Fan site can become the best way to both create new
LEGO fans, and provide resources to point people to the greater LEGO community
where needed.
Down the road (and after some sleep), we’ll be adding more and more features to
the site. The first of which will be an community-wide events calendar, where
you can all submit your events in order to see them all in one place.
One last thing... If you’re interested in helping out on the site,
please drop Richard Morton an email (rjmorton at 4imprint.com). We need several
types of help:
• Newbie helpers (people to point newbies to the right places, or to help
introduce them to the community, via the forums)
• Content moderators (now that
people can submit news stories, links, and down the road events, we’ll need help
making sure all is kosher)
• News Providers (people who will seek out the best,
most interesting news for the site home page on a regular basis)
• Link Directory Moderators (mods specifically for keeping up with the
links database)
- ASP.net coders (we’ll need coding help to continue to build out the site)
Hopefully you like what you see on the new site, but we welcome suggestions and
bug reports! Please send any feedback to the LEGO Fan feedback forums.
Enjoy!

| (...) Now that's a great idea. I'd love to see a calendar on the LEGOFan website that not only has community-wide events, but regional events as well (such as local LUG meeting times or where an LTC is having a display). The reason I'd like that is (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
