   There seems to be some confusion lately about how to post a message announcing a MOC. It was thought by many years ago that we should have a separate newsgroup for announcing MOC’s that is different from the regular lugnet.announce group. We decided to go with that idea.

Therefore as you can see here

   A new group/list for personal announcements of “MOC”s (“my own creations”) has just been created, the purpose being to focus these types of announcements and offload them out of the main lugnet.announce group, which was never intended for announcements of MOCs.

   Note: DO NOT post announcements of MOCs to the main lugnet.announce group.

Please keep this in mind when posting messages about MOC’s. Lately there have been a lot of posts that are erroneously posted in the lugnet.announce group when they should actually be in the lugnet.announce.moc group.

Thanks, David

I’m surprised anyone posts here anymore considering all the hassle involved and the inevitable scolding when you get something wrong. This site is about the furthest thing from “user friendly” I can imagine. I feel for newbies stumbling upon the rusting hulk of LUGNET as there first contact with the LEGO community.

Rant over, I’m sure I’ll now be chastised for not setting the FUT correctly

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 forum which gets bogged down in technical issues and there are a few users that like to set the agenda of what is said on Lugnet. Other than that it is a perfect site for what I need. John P

I have to 2nd what John just said.

But there is one thing that really discourages me from posting here, say as opposed to on Bricklink.

Often my posts are of such a detailed historic or obscure nature that I get no replies to them. That in and of itself is not a big deal... but at least on Bricklink I know that although no one has replied to my posts, the counter there tells me that 138 folks have at least read my post.

Over here on LUGNET, I have no clue how many folks have read it, if at all, and sometimes I feel as though they’re not being read at all.

That can be discouraging...

When I look on Bricklink and see the counter way up, I feel at least that it was worthwhile to post the historic topic in the first place.
