(...) Yep. (...) True. I think it's great to encourage those kids who don't build LEGO on this level to explore it. I have gained a new appreciation for Bionicle recently, at BricksWest and at a friend's house a couple weeks ago. His kids have a lot (...)

(...) IMHO, the AFOL term was used just to give this group a sense of identity. Sure, any old kid can say he plays with Lego, but all he might do is just buy sets and make them, or just collect Bionicle figures. We actually take Lego to the next (...)

(...) Looking back in the thread, I think I was the one who began talking about "adult" here, although the phrase "Adult Fan of LEGO" (AFOL) seems to have been created quite a while ago. I find that I mention adult LEGO fans almost in self defense. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

Hi Damien - (...) I'm sorry to hear that. Most of the people I build with have more LEGO than I do. I have quite a bit, perhaps just under 100,000 pieces. But, I still don't have the parts to construct what I really want to, which is part of the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

(...) Yes, that's sharing building experience and you are lucky. My only sharing experience ended with "i don't need you, i have more lego than you anyway". Ok you share building experience. I mean you don't share building skills. You construct your (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

(...) YES! Man I'm really not getting work done today. Stopped by the post office with my taxes, visited a local shopkeeper. Posting in this silly thread. Well, the thread isn't silly, but it's silly that I'm not getting my work done! (...) The TFOL (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

(...) Haha! I love it. Now, I really am enjoying this entire thread, but my line of thinking is diverging a little (thus the change in subject line). A question comes to my mind about how we refer to ourselves within the "community". Why do we need (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

For someone who has shyed away from the community over the past year or so, I feel that I may be able to answer some questions: I believe that the culture here includes everyone, especially the casual fan of Lego.
