I'm surprised you guys haven't thrown up a splash page or something, at

I'm not.  Until they have explicit permission from TLC to register a domain name
containing their trademarked brand name, it would be a blatant violation of
trademark rights to do so.  Not a good way to start off this proposed
relationship with TLC, wouldn't you think?

On a technical note, the domain is ALREADY registered.  It has been since
august:

Domain Name: LEGOFAN.NET
Registrar: TUCOWS INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com
Name Server: NS1.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Name Server: NS2.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Name Server: NS3.DOMAINDIRECT.COM
Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 18-aug-2003
Creation Date: 18-aug-2003
Expiration Date: 18-aug-2004

It doesn't say WHO registered it, but my hope would be that it was someone
involved with the project in anticipation of being approved to use it.

(...) I went right to network solutions (netsol.com). One would think that the people that run DNS would have the info, but apparently they don't. Or atleast they don't feel like sharing it. :) Troy (21 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.org)

(...) LEGOFAN.ORG seems to be registered by domain.admin@lego.com ... I wonder why? It expires in April, though, so maybe Dan is purchasing it. --Bram (21 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.org)
