One thing: LEGO (that is, the company) commonly ask people to refrain from

Mmm, so many people do it I thought it was OK.

http://lego.kepplah.com
http://lego.bldesign.org

for example... have you guys ever gotten any complaints from Lego?

up to you to do whatever you want.  however:

  The LEGO Trademark cannot be used in an Internet Address

  The LEGO trademark should not be incorporated into an Internet

  would be creating the misleading impression that the LEGO Group
  sponsored the homepage.

(...) kepplah.com and bldesign.org. The Lego is part of the url, sure, just as joebob.com/lego is as well, but it's not part of the domain. Adrian (22 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.publish)
