If they have to post on the live server (I can't imagine them being stupid enough to not have a Staging server), I'd suspect they don't "yank" the pics back off, they simply change the permissions so they're not viewable.

  Re: Question: Why allow postings of lego.direct on lugnet at all? (sarcasm warning)
 
I am not sure that LD or TLC would be quite as badly behaved as people seem to think. Everyone knows Larry sells stuff. (Well, I assume if they are regulars here on lugnet they do, anyhow.) I sell stuff too, and I am personally very sensitive to the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Question: Why allow postings of lego.direct on lugnet at all? (sarcasm warning)
 
(...) 'Spammed' probably isn't the right word for it. I am thinking of something less obnoxious and possibly more sinister like "product placement" type marketing. An example: When I saw the Spider-Man movie, there was this protracted moment when (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Wow, this is super cool if it's worldwide... Afterall, no matter where we are from, we are ALL AFOL's :) Here's hoping! (not getting too excited just yet). Mel www.brickzine.com (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Discount code clarification and update
 
(...) Maybe, but I've seen tons of online stores use trademarked words and names in coupon codes, and never once heard of any of them getting in trouble. Jeff (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Question: Why allow postings of lego.direct on lugnet at all? (sarcasm warning)
 
(...) I think you´re both right. TLC wouldn´t spam LUGNET if they were allowed to post in any group. BUT: I feel the same way as Ben. LD and/or TLC do not join the discussion or offer to have one. They mostly do some kind of marketing annoucements. (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

In lugnet.lego.announce, Jake McKee writes: <snip> (...) <snip> (...) I took it as a compliment actually. There was a coupon code many people were having trouble using or just did not have and TLC came out and made one just for us and detailed how (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) For what it's worth, I can confirm this too. It's mere coincidence. (...) Not a problem. We appreciate your help. -Suz (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Why the absence of LD in their own newsgroup?
 
(...) I saw it listed in their new 'web specials' area. not sure where else it's made known. Sad to report, it says 'sold out' now. -Suz (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Why the absence of LD in their own newsgroup?
 
(...) Where is this announcement on TLC's site that Mindstorms 1.5 is available for 50% off? I can't see it. All I can see is Mindstorms 2.0 available at the regular price? Kerry (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Question: Why allow postings of Lego Direct on lugnet at all?
 
(...) So, what did you think about Jake's posting about why he doesn't communicate more? I think there were valid reasons in there that we ought to look towards ourselves as a community before demanding more participation from LD. Mark (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
