   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.

My bad, working from memory. The acronym is now ILENN. Here’s the announcement
