The thought of becomming even more kid friendly is
probably the worst thing about this so far. Call me
selfish, but I want my LEGO hobby to be a thing for adults
and I want to be able to express myself in ways that might
not always be a good way around kids.

Don’t worry. We’ve expected that. And we think we have a
solution too (Dan will have to explain it in detail, he
knows it better).

Being a young teen myself, I know what you mean. LUGNET has definently been a
better place because kids don’t come and make posts about their 5-minute bloched
Star Wars Jedi Starfighter that looks more like a old hippie vehicle- just to
name an example. Yet I don’t think kids should be entirely kicked out, either.
Lugnet has no policy against kids- I was under 14 when I became a member here
and yet people visiting my (slightly unfinished)site-
http://deepspace.jhkruer.com/
probably wouldn’t be able to tell. And yet
the forums here, although sometimes frequented by kids haven’t suffered in
result. Kids seem to be able to tell when their input is wanted and when it
isn’t- kindly speaking, of course. I think one thing that Lugnet has that
perhaps some of the other sites don’t have is maturity. A clean interface, no
flashing banners or off-topic signatures. (Generally) no flaming and insults.
Its a good place to exchange ideas, and while in a way a new site would help
refresh the community, I don’t think Lugnet is doing all that bad. Heck, Lugnet
could be the place for grown-ups/ mature kids to discuss, with other forums for
the younger crowd.
Just some ideas... It’ll be interesting to see this solution you talk about. I
sense that this site is trying to get past the AFOL boundaries- perhaps to get
new people and ideas?
