Lugnet's tailspin —Frank Filz
(...) That is a concern of many of us (including Tim). The nastiness level on Lugnet just seems to be increasing constantly. I think there's a bunch of reasons for it, but sticking our heads in the sand and hoping it will go away will not cure the (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.people) !

	All hail the mighty Brick. Hey just an observation: Frank I noticed when we net you were a kinda quiet guy, and when I read your posts your are quite well spoken. I like that and I enjoy reading what you write when I come accross your posts. Anyway. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

	Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Jason King
	Hi Frank, It's funny you know, last night before I even read your post, I was thinking that the problems began around the time Todd stopped be involved in LUGNET... You are right Leadership is the answer but I can't see where that leadership will (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

		Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Christopher L. Weeks
		(...) So maybe it's time for us to ante up. I wonder how many of the ~1500 members would stick around at $25 per year? Everyone (myself included) should remember this web page: (URL) do I find the amount of my membership fee that I still owe?) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

			Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Jason King
			You are right Chris a higher membership fee would probably help Lugnet in someway. And I would be more than happy to pay. The enjoyment i get from LUGNET is definately worth it.. However some of our members are still teenagers and they might not be (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

				Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Christopher L. Weeks
				(...) I think many of us agree. So why aren't we paying? In my case, I just keep meaning to. I bet there's a lot of that. (...) It would. But $25 per year is something that _any_ North American teen who is well off enough to enjoy LEGO and computer (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

			Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Scott Arthur
			(...) I wonder what the subscription fee would be if we wanted to pay somebody to run this show FT? What would the "going rate" be if an individual from the USA was employed? I really doubt 1500*$25 ($37500) would be enough? Scott A =+= Have you (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

				Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Matt Hein
				(...) Hmmm...you've got a point there...I guess It's an issue of both of the topics above, one being 'how many members would remain', and the other being the 'membership price'. I don't think an annual fee would be bad. I could easily afford $25 a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

				how much is enough? —Paul Hartzog
				(...) well, first of all, some of that $ would go to server costs. but you could pay a number of 'volunteers' the equiv of part-time pay above and beyond their day-jobs. 1) you get better results from the 'employee' (or they get fired) 2) you get (...)

			Useful URL! —Lindsay Frederick Braun
			(...) Dunno, but I sent something. Just to feel like I'm giving something back. Thanks for the URL--I didn't know it was there! Now, if only I could find a job that paid more than $15K... ...and for the record, I'd ante up $25 a year, even living (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

		LUGNET's Good Health was: [Re: Lugnet's tailspin] — Suzanne D. Rich
		note: I happened to pick this post of the thread to respond to, for no better reason than it just came up on my ticker. As for some people calling this 'a tailspin', well, even if I were to agree (which I don't), you'd better keep in mind that this (...)

	Re: Lugnet's tailspin —Fredrik Glöckner
	(...) Personally, I think that the notion that a major message board can remain friendly is naïve at best. A "message board" like LUGNET is the juxtaposition of people of many cultures, ages, interests, as well as different levels of experience with (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)

		Leaders vs. Rulers —Paul Hartzog
