I'm amazed at how far we've come already, from the humble beginings on alt.toys.lego. It's a shame nobody (that I know of, anyway) has an archive of alt.toys.lego or rec.toys.lego for comparative purposes. "Richard Noeckel" (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.org, lugnet.general)

(...) Cool! Could you give me some help. I manage the LUG Map... (URL) I am not as up on Australian Geography as I probably should be.

(...) Big…really, I see it too! But ‘how big’? Are we to become like the masses of Trekies one day? To become a completely socially accepted hobby? Instead of the dynamic niche that we are today. I say ‘dynamic’ cause I believe we as a group have a (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.org, lugnet.general)

(...) I think we'll start seeing cross polination in the loc and org groups. The good thing about the volume these days is that probably 905% of North American AFOLs are within a 4 hour drive of enough people to at least occaisionally have a fest (...)

(...) Disagree. The DC event (the first one ever held was in DC last year, IIRC) is "Brickfest". Legofest is a much broader term... Definition of Legofest varies depending on who you ask but is surely broader than your definition... My personal one (...)
