(...) [snip] (...) But according to your estimate, LEGO.com already gets 10 times the hits of LUGNET. Clearly, it is *the* destination of choice. Doing 10 times better than the nearest competitor would seem to be pretty good, wouldn't it? Cheers (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) You have a point. I guess I should really try to make myself understood better, it seems my points are getting lost in this thread. Not sure why, I usually have no trouble making myself understood. My point was... that event though LEGO.com (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) So they make product announcements on a website that is drawing visitors away from their own site? I ask again... does this make business sense? Help me understand your point Richie, you've lost me. :) Regards, Allan (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) LEGO know that (say) ten times as many people end up at LEGO.com, but another small but significant group end up at somewhere else. Now, maybe LEGO.com could become LUGNET Mk2, but we may not like the implications of that happening. They (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) The fans who "hang out" here are mostly adults. Some of us even use adult words from time-to-time. I expect that if we were to see a discussion forum on lego.com it would be aimed at a younger market. Lego would be crazy if they were to design (...)

(...) One way of looking at it is thus, we here on Lugnet tend to hardcore, rabid fans that once we see an announcement HERE, tend to go there soon after (for the pictures man! :^) At the very least I know that I tend to go there to confirm that (...)
