| 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)

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 (...)

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)
