I always admired Lugnet for avoiding advertising - think how much it could have
raked in during its peak traffic days! It just seems a bit mercenary to fracture
a community to make a few bucks, after all the work that went into fostering the
LEGO community that happened here.. but that’s business I guess.
I’ve also heard people express the opinion
that Lugnet is “outdated” in terms of its web format, style, etc. (Anyone for
Lugnet on a BB/iPhone/cell phone format???)
Is the Lugnet code under GPL or something? I found
this thread
discussing the possibility, but nothing else.
