I say we should have both a Tyco and a Mega Bloks clones database link from at least the off- topic clone-brands section of Lugnet. If one is interested one can find it; if one is not interested, one never has to see it! I realize that Lugnet is owned by two persons, and is not a democracy -- but I think that there are many Lugnet users that would be grateful to have access to clone information when they need it. I can contribute a handful of scanned instructions myself... Does a consensus of Lugnet users in favor of creating such a clone database matter at all in this decision, Todd? -- Richard

(...) personally, I think there's no room for such a DB on lugnet. If you want to start up your own DB offsite, then perhaps Todd would put a link from off-topic.clones to your DB - but I don't think it should be on site. (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.db.scans)
