  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Since the comics list it as AFOLnet and not AFOL.net, I suspect the intent was for the name AFOLnet.com to parallel LUGNET.com. (22 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) I suspect AFOLnet.com was meant to LUGNET.com. Otherwise it should have been AFOL.net, right? (22 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) I'm not sure if AFOLNET.xxx was a deliberate choice, or because AFOL.NET was already taken, but a quick check says that the registration for AFOL.NET has recently expired: afol.net Registrant: <snip for privacy> Domain Name: AFOL.NET (...)

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
This is a great series of comics!!! It takes a bit too long in the introduction of each word perhaps, but all the jokes are so spot on it's not a major issue. And it's for everyone else anyways. I was rolling reading these! And yes, I even thought (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Late last week I e-mailed Jake suggesting that AFOLnet.com be picked up as a site to web-publish the comic for that specific reason (didn't want to mention it until it got picked up...which it apparently has). Nothing like handing out (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) This strikes me as a good thing. Better that someone in the community get it and preserve it, than that it go to a porn site.

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
Thank you for providing us, the AFOL community a chance to review your internal comic. Overall, I believe that it does a good job of explaining us to its originally intended audience. One concern I do have regarding the eventual distribution to the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Hey Jake, I responded more to the content of the comic in a thread over on FBTB, but just to give a personal testamony, for me it was Cool LEGO Site of the Week that got me out my dark ages, just seeing all the things that AFOLs were building.

  Re: Taking LUGNET to the next level
 
(...) Wow Mark, I am sorry I missed this one in the flurry of initial posts. It is a GREAT read.

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
Jake, I think the comic is great. I had a really good laugh at a few of the strips. Even though the colour change is a bit of a stinging point with me, I found myself reacting very positively to the strips. Humour is a wonderful tool. As you (...)
