You caught us. That’s the whole reason. Yup.

Is it that difficult to listen to people you don’t like or don’t agree with?
I mean, if you only want to hear from someone who agrees with you, why not
get off the internet and talk into a mirror?

Just watch, see how often something will get moderated just because of
disagreements. I can almost guarrantee that’s not happening. On the other hand,
being moderated, we don’t have to put up with the whiners, complainers, etc who
have nothing worth while to say. That isn’t a huge issue on Lugnet, it’s there,
but not as much as it will be on a new site that is probably also going to
attract a different sort of crowd. But it’s for the best. It’s time to grow.

I will miss seeing all the great MOCs in .space, just as I lament the
diminished traffic in .castle. As I said the
last time this issue was
raised, I guess some people would rather be a big fish in a small pond.

Firstly (assuming it does take off as much as we’re talking), you don’t have to
miss out on space MOCs. There is a dedicated forum for publishing MOCs, and
nothing else, here: http://classic-space.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 Also
I’ve got a mod on the backburner to make the forums RSS capable, thus you won’t
even have to go there, you can just have the MOC forum aggregated to the RSS
reader of your choice.
And second, I’m glad you posted that link, otherwise I wouldn’t have found
Lenny’s response to you: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=31857
Take the first part of his post and apply is to Space and you can easily see why
this is a good idea.
And then take the second part of that same post about Lugnet: There have been a
few hints in that direction, but frankly, I haven’t seen enough to rationalize
waiting around any longer.
The classic space forums actually existed shortly after that particular thread.
But it was left undeveloped, because we were (still are) waiting on Lugnet to
catch up. Have we jumped the gun? Is Lugnet’s true hayday just around the
corner? Perhaps, but until then we’re going to do whatever we’ve got to do.
Another thing I’d like to add.. Perhaps the lego hobby (as we know it) is
growing fast enough, that we NEED these seperations. Just a thought, haven’t
really pondered it to a conclusion. At the same time we may need the
seperations, we most certainly need a central point of interaction. And I expect
Lugnet to fill that role for a long while to come.
