| (...) 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 (...)

| (...) 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)

| Seems I was not the only one to leave this place. :( Can't see how flickr and possibility to edit posts and masking mail-addresses can be the reason for this. Does not matter if the system is slightly flawed if the crowd and quality of builds and (...) (15 years ago, 16-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) At Brickworld 2009, the fragmentation of the AFOL online community was the subject of several discussions. This fact seems to be well-known to AFOLs at this point. Even the LEGO Community Team knew about this. As you pointed out, one question (...) (15 years ago, 16-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) I think part of the reason why things have fragmented such as they have, but not as a conscious decision by any one group or individual, is the lack of redundancy that is Lugnet. There was a period of time many years ago when Lugnet's server (...) (15 years ago, 16-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) I don't believe LUGNET needs to return to what it was to once again be the centre of the LEGO universe. I signed up only relatively recently after reading LUGNET for some years and participating in the robotics section through an external (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Lately I have been posting a lot more on Eurobricks and a lot less on Lugnet mostly because Eurobricks is a LOT easier to post on than Lugnet (like all the times the authentication email takes forever to arrive or worse still, never gets (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jul-09, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I'm old fashioned and prefer reading LUGNET through NNTP. It has both positive and negative sides, but one of the major positive sides is that you actually can easily keep track of cross-postings and posts that you have already read. And I (...)

| I think both policing and specializing is a bad thing. Policing, hiding stuff never solves the problems. Better bash it out in the open and deal with it. Sure, pure trolls need to go and there are limits. I moderate in Swedens largest bicycle forum (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jul-09, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I started looking into this when Matija Puzar mentioned the NNTP protocol (which I vaguely remember using several aeons ago) and this got me on the right track. However, I have found that - as opposed to what (...) (15 years ago, 18-Jul-09, to lugnet.general)
