(...) Outrageous! You need at least a dozen to make a reasonably realistic looking wind farm. (16 years ago, 17-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
 
(...) I googled the set and came up with the following two links: (URL) and (URL) is a very nice set, I will buy if given the opportunity. Ed (16 years ago, 16-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
 
(...) Amen to that! I agree that this set needs to be released to the general public. -Dave ToT-LUG (16 years ago, 16-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
 
Dear LEGO and Vestas, LEGO #4999 (Wind Turbine) is a promo set only to be sold or given away to Vestas employees as a gift. (I am not sure). I would suggest and hope LEGO would release this set world wide through LEGO Shop&home and through LEGO (...) (16 years ago, 16-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX) !! 
 
  A request to ambassadors
 
Hi all, Most if not all of you have seen the leaked pictures of the set 4999 Vestas Windmill, and the intense desire of AFOLs to get this set. There are other promo sets in the past, especially airline and ferry sets, that required travel on those (...) (16 years ago, 16-Jul-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.general) ! 
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) First of all, this is a really nice addition to LUGNET. Thanks, Jerry. Even apart from the worry over some LUGNET posters intentionally driving up their own "view counts" for egotistical reasons, I would appreciate some sort of reload-blocking (...)

  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) I admit I have been tempted to do so already - however the figures as of now are not exactly meaningful yet. This may change rather quickly. I wouldn't want to encourage anyone to "click their posts up the charts" though, if you see what I (...) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) This is a fantastic implementation! Nicely done! Will there be a future state where we'll get nightly (or weekly) listings for top read articles akin to the top sets list that LUGNET automatically generates? Just wondering. Keep up the (...) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)

  Some statistics based on the new read counter
 
All, I just thought you might find this interesting: I have been monitoring the read counter for articles since its implementation last night (local time in Germany ;) ). Out of a grand total of approx. 693,000 articles in the LUGNET newsgroup tree, (...) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general)  
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) All I can say to that is People Are Weird (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) ;) You know, I actually could have implemented some kind of reload-blocking, but then again I'm pretty sure the effort wouldn't pay off in the long run. I have just checked the read counts collected since the update, and it lists some 16,000 (...) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I'm sure if someone did chastise you for so doing, some (URL) drive-by troller> would leap to your defense. ;) Cheers Richie Dulin CO Legeaux FUT .o-t.fun (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) I'm sure no-one will abuse the system by reloading the page multiple times to increase their own view count either. Just like no-one self-spotlights now ;) (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Holy @#%$!!! That was some fast programming, sir. I bet this may even surpass invite to chat in terms of Great Contributions to the Community! (...) lol - amen to that brother!! (16 years ago, 8-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
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) ! 
 
  Re: How to properly "announce" MOC's
 
(...) Well, it's difficult to find something to add to your posts, you know! But rest assured, a post by Gary Istok is definitely read, many times. (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.general)
