Maybe its time to face the reality LUGNET is in its senior years and will go
the way of RTL. I agree, LUGNET just isnt as user friendly as it was and
these days people have more options than just LUGNET to talk LEGO. I suspect
if there isnt some great reformation (not just changing the look of the
homepage) this place will be history in a few years. Sad to see this place go
bye-bye but...

Adrian,
I sort of agree with you as the technology behind the current version of LUGNET
was very sophisticated and advanced way back when... ...but there certainly are
other ways to provide a lot of the functionality now.
That is why of course a lot of thinking is going on in the heads of some of us.
Looking at the activity and interest still around, it is obvious that something
must happen to cater for the Web 2.0 era and on.
Some ideas are there, more ideas are most certainly out there and should be
discussed sooner rather than later. We might even think of setting up a separate
group for such a discussion. If something really new were to happen to LUGNETs
forums, that would most likely mean that some of the old functionality will have
to be discontinued someday. There will probably just as many people disliking
that approach than there will be embracing whatever new approach we will come up
with.
As a matter of fact, one new thing is already in the works but unfortunately
too early to post a link here yet.
Given how short-lived many a web project is these days, looking at LUGNET with a
track record dating back to the Nineties (!) is certainly something we want to
take good care of. In a way, Senior is a good way of putting it - it may be a
bit slower but you always come to appreciate the experience...
Looking forward to shaping the future of LUGNET,
Jerry
