(...) I like Lugnet. It fills a void in that the listings for the sets are easy to use and link to other sites. It is a straight forward site without a lot of the bells and whistles that make others rather difficult to use. The only complaint is the (...) (16 years ago, 5-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Just a quick update: I've taken a little time and implemented a read-counter for web access to news posts. Now for display of individual articles you will find a new header line saying "Viewed: X times" - it should show the actual views of that (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX) !
