Can I ask why not simply post on Lugnet.space instead of creating a new
website for the same purpose?
The page header is awesome, nice work.

The most important reason is because Lugnet has fallen behind, nothing has
changed, it’s time for a fresh start.
Perhaps there’s a lot going on in the background. I’d like to say I haven’t
given up on Lugnet entirely yet.
Something that’s key with the new forum is moderation. Even when/if we see major
changes for Lugnet, I’m pretty sure moderation will not play any role. And I’m
not just talking about moderating offensive, etc posts. I’m talking being able
to say “hey, you’re annoying, get a clue.” And then do something about it
instead of is just causing yet another war.
CC, FBTB, etc have all had success with their projects away from Lugnet. And all
too often we’re seeing spacers looking for the same thing. Also, now that
castle/starwars/bionicle have moved out, it’s the spacers who are getting the
bad rap around Lugnet, so it’s time to start focusing our energy elsewhere.
