My intent was just getting some feedback from the community in my original post.
I hope I didn't sound snippy, but definitely a bit frustrated. The thing that
has my curiosity is the obvious overlap of NXT, RCX, technic and basically every
other Lego area that GBC ties into. My goal has always been to find a way to
unite it all under one roof. The NXT discussion area was one aspect I saw as a
likely high traffic topic. I do think that keeping the site GBC-only is a good
idea http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=26115. That's the neat thing about
forums: you can lopp off areas that shouldn't be there.
So what are some other things/comments that folks have? This is a dedicated
server folks!
