Really? That's pretty sad.

I assume that Blacktron is a trademark of TLG. (It's definitely "their"
word, in any case.) So yeah, assuming that lego.blacktron.org belongs to TLG
makes sense. But (and I mean this in all the best way) if you associate
anything at castles.org with TLG, you're being silly.

I don't think so. I think it illustrates that there is very little
confusion: not a single person thought "Oh wait, maybe this guy actually has
checked with TLG and gotten sponsorship of his site. It's possible that he's
got some sort of authorized specialness."
