No, what I expected when I joined LUGNET, was part resource, part discussion. .space mostly. I saw it as a place to exchange building ideas and maybe a little banter. But what I got was at least 10-fold better. The single biggest surprise for me was .off-topic.debate. I can't imagine having a week without some heated discussion going on (and am sad when there isn't one). –Can I mention here that I still miss hop-frog?– I've learned a lot, and been directed to resources I would never have been exposed to had it not been a part of LUGNET. I am very grateful for it's existence and it almost never has to do with Lego per se. Hell, I've swayed my opinion over the second amendment because of things presented on those forums. If it were to be trimmed off because of it's lack of Lego-talk, now there would be a major disservice. So if Todd wants to further compartmentalize parts of LUGNET, more power to him. If you want a .kyle, more power to you! (provided you mean it) There should be .lavender. If something is planted and it dies on the vine, then it should be cut. But it should be given a chance and not dismissed out of hand. If you feel that sections of the community are useless then don't subscribe to them. What is so difficult about that? -Evil Wayne

(...) Wow, controversy on LUGNET. Will wonders never cease? ;] Damn I'm going to regret this. Oh well, as long as my post is more coherent than JAL's, I've done good. ;] I have formed a theory. Here's a pictorial representation of part of my theory: (...) (20 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.fun.community, lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.people, lugnet.org)
