As to the splitting of the community, this is a topic that has been covered
many times in the past. I truly believe that a growth of sites has led to a
growth in the number of people involved in the hobby. Yes, it is harder now
to know everything that’s happening in the community, but it’s a much larger
community. I do think that most things are still on Brickshelf (though some
things have never been on Brickshelf - e.g. Eric Harshbarger has never had a
Brickshelf account AFAIK), so it’s still possible to see most things that
are happening. Simply put, is it better to have 1000 people who post in one
forum, for 2000 people who post in five forums? I vote for the second
option, but I understand if others prefer the first.

For Lego stuff, the first option is better for me, because I am not going to
check five forums regularly. But I see your point.

Look into LENNI.. while it does not allow you to post from a single interface,
the aggregation it gives you at least gives you a single view of the many
communities that choose to make their content available, and you can then decide
if you want to reply or pursue further.
Hope that helps.

| (...) These are good and valid points. The kind of thing that I totally understand being thought about and discussed. But there seemed an almost "stone him" kind of mean-spiritedness about what I saw online too. (...) I do this kind of thing too!! (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
