Well, there seems to be a few of us still here….
I think if nothing else keeps LUGNET (tm) going, it will be people complaining
that LUGNET is in decline/has failed/has
jumped
the shark or whatever.
I think LUGNET has come a long way in the last year or so. Despite doom and
gloom posts predicting that the German ‘takeover’ had failed (and even that the
oweners would ask the Albanians
next!), I think things are going well. There is a steady stream of MOCs, and
through the encouragement and guidance of community members such as
Tim Gould, people are more and more
commenting on MOCs. Rene and co are taking an active part in the community and
the development of the site, no one may be donning an admin’s hat and wielding a
big admin stick, but then again, there seems no cause to use one.
LUGNET is, as are so many things, what we make of them. We cannot simply lament
that things are not the same as they once were and expect them to magically
change back to what they once were, just like we can’t complain about what is
featured in ‘spotlight’ and expect what is featured to change without us taking
action. LUGNET is a community (albeit part of a wider community), if we want it
to change, we have to change it.
You (and this is the generic ‘you’) want more MOCs? Make more MOCs. You want
better things spotlighted? Spotlight better things (or even post better things
to spotlight). You want more feedback on MOCs? Post more feedback on MOCs. You
want someone posting like lar used to? Post like lar used to.
You (and this is the partular ‘you’) may ask “Has Babylon fallen?” Possibly, but
if it has, I ask this: what are you going to do to rebuild it?
Cheers

| Once there was a place whose inhabitants all spoke a common language. As a unified community, their combined strength gave them such confidence that they challenged God Himself. They lost, and were scattered to the four corners of the earth, no (...) (18 years ago, 21-Nov-06, to lugnet.general)
