Actually LUGNet doesn’t do the job well. The news post setup is far from intuitive, and if you register with LUGNet it might be days or even weeks before your account is activated. The interface is old and kludgy, and the nntp format is nice for tech geeks, but let’s face it. Most people don’t even know what nntp is, much less use it.

The vBulletin forums at Classic-Space.com are ready to go immediately. Posting is easy and straightforward.

I’m the curator of the .space newsgroup here, so you can’t accuse me of not loving LUGNet. However, I do recognize its shortcomings, and I’ll support the new site too.

It’s a site for Spacers by Spacers.
