Perhaps, since I've been speculating, I'll speculate a bit more. *If* either
of these wonderful internet intsitutions ever come directly under the
"banner" of TLC it does not mean that they would control the content. It is
my hope and belief that neither Todd nor Kevin would abandon direct control
over the forums. Simply, TLC would contract them to do exactly what they are
already doing without direct influence of what happens here.
I could be wrong but I don't believe that I am. I think I know Kevin at
least well enough to know that he wouldn't give up operational control of
Brickshelf. (Sorry Kevin, I'm just speculating here, so you can verbally
repramand me at a later time.)
Anyway, It is my belief that even if these come into the Lego sphere of
influence, they (TLC) would not directly control them. Would alternative
systems be here? Probably, but not anymore so than they are now. One hopeful
sign of this is that I've actually seen in a Mania Mag some kid's creation
that clearly included MB. So, you tell me? Is it time to run back to RTL?
