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

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.
