Yeah, that’s true- quality over quantity. But going days without posts doesn’t
really help quality, either.

I think we need something around here to revitalize the .space community,
something to encourage people to sign up and also encourage old posters who
are lurkers (or worse) to post. Perhaps we might even need to follow
.Castle (*gasp*) and start our own website- a classic-space.com- to liven
things up? Lugnet is really nice, but I think without something new the
whole community stagnates.

A new website might be cool, but the thing about a website is that someone
has to be dedicated to working on it. I think most of us would rather just
build something than to have to be responsible for a website all the time.
|
We could always make it a ‘community’ thing, theoretically letting all of us add
things when you want. But you’re right, a website is a hard thing to mantain
and we all have lifes outside of Lego. Although that said, I do have a lot of
spare time nowadays.

Well, it looks like a few people are at least paying attention. And, here
comes my 2 cents...
Thanks for the thoughts, JHK; here’s some back at you.
I imagine there might be a bit of a post-BrickFest lull
|
I think this is responsible for a lot of it. Quite a few of the more prolific
spacers were at Brickfest PDX,, and I think after that level of LEGO
saturation, many of us are just LEGO’d out. It was a month ago, but when I
walk into my LEGO room, I look around and go “Meh.” I still have some boxes
left to unpack, full of MOCs.
|
Hmm, that must be a factor. Me, I’m poor, and my parents hate travelling, and
since nothing happens down here in Jacksonville, Florida I do all my stuff
online. So I guess I notice these fluctuations more then others...
| |
For me, LEGO is a hobby, and I only build when I feel inspired. I don’t want
to force myself to build something if I don’t have a clear, strong
motivation, because that’s no fun for me. So I just wait for the mood to
strike me.
|
I’ve had a problem with that too. I had a few ideas, but I didn’t have enough
bricks to complete them (darn parents won’t let me buy any more Lego) and so I
kind of stagnated. But after looking at some Star Trek shuttle designs, I have
an idea and I’m working on it now.
| |
I do have some ideas in the back of my head. One of these days I’ll get
geared up and you’ll all be neck deep in 3vil again.
|
Can’t wait...
