You were drowned out by the vast and noisy response to events in NXT-land.

Sadly, I can't get to Brickfest.

I strongly advise against creating yet another forum for discussing GBC.
Keep it here please.

(...) OK...Does the community care one bit about my efforts to centralize GBC at all? I would like to think that I haven't been wasting my time for the past few months. I will take zero responses to this post as a 'no'. Dave (20 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)
