Sad to hear that. Hope it stays alive, at least in the past it was a great source with lot’s more posting MOCs there than here.

Lugnet itself also seem to have lost a lot of momentum over the last couple of years. Glad to still see some familiar names like Eric Sophie bricking around. :D

LUGNET and Brickshelf have both lost a lot of momentum. I think it’s partly due to the fact that these websites, once on the cusp of the AFOL online presence, have not invested the resources and energy to stay with the times. The sites that fans have flocked to instead (such as Flickr) offer better functionality and features that LUGNET and BS do not have. (My suggestion for feature #1: masking of users’ email addresses. Feature #2: The ability to edit posts.)

I am a fan of LUGNET. To me, it represents a LEGO-specific forum that spans the whole community and is something the AFOL community can call its own. It would be nice to see LUGNET actively maintained and updated like its competing sites - and it would be helpful if the LUGNET maintainers made us aware of efforts to improve the site and drive traffic back to it.

(...) I feel the same Jordan. I still follow LUGNET, especially the train and town threads. Any efforts to create more activity on this site would be greatly appreciated. Bert Waters (15 years ago, 15-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)
