I would be very, very sad if LUGNet would die. It’s a place where I really like to
stay. The best AFoL forum on the net.


I have been a card carrying member of Lugnet (so much for “lifetime” membership - lol) since 2000 and I would have agreed to your last sentence there wholeheartedly a while ago. But not anymore.

There was a time when Lugnet was the first page I looked at for info on Lego and the people here were very nice. But now, there is too much drivel even when I set my filter very high around here. Too much whining and complaining. It’s too big and bulky and too many non-Lego related parts exist. The time when those additions to .people showed up I felt a disturbance in the force so to speak and in the back of my mind a little alarm bell went off. People have always needed to think more about what they say before hitting the submit button of course, but more and more posters these days need to do this IMHO.

And now, I would not be surprised if anything I said starts a series of posts both defending and objecting to what I have typed. Especially those loudmouths who seem to know it all and can’t wait to add their expert opinion but don’t always like to let others say their peace with the same respect.
