 | | The decline of "From Bricks to Bothans" —Alfred Speredelozzi
|
| | | Hello all, I am writing to see if anyone else has noticed that a very popular Star Wars Lego website (FBTB.net) seems to be in a decline. I mention this because I am a fairly disillusioned fan of FBTB. Now, if you haven't been to the site, you may (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | (...) Alfred, I think you need to respect what Tim and the gang are doing at FBTB...it is a fan site, run by folks with real lives, families and jobs. It is through their rabid fandom that FBTB operates, and their respect for the brick that earns (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) Yes, all good points, and I appreciate that they do all these things on their free time. I can't say that I have done a lot for FBTB particularly, except what I do here -- participate in the discussions. I am not opposed to the "Respect the (...)

| | | | | | (...) I actually spoke to someone from FBTB about this very issue, here is how I see it (largely my opinion). When FBTB first hit it was an instant success because it scooped everybody for news and images of forthcoming sets. What then happened is (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | Hello. Let's start this at the top, shall we? Yes, I did indeed come out and tell everyone that if they were to wait that FBTB would bring home the best possible coverage of the SW line. And that obviously didn't happen. I dropped the ball. What (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | Well, I must say that for myself, this is explanation enough. Tim, you should know that even critical people like me do appreciate the work you put in to your site. Of course, I can be one of the argumentative types that doesn't like to see (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | I can certainly relate to both Tim and Alfred on slowly loosing interest in the SW line from LEGO. We can all remember the great time when the first sets hit the shops and the great info on FBTB. It's a pity the webmaster of a truly awesome site (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) First off Tim I apologize to Tim for my X-Files style conspiracy theories. I actually originally replied to Alfred’s post to defend FBTB, but now as I read my post it is clear that I focused more on my theories than on my praise of your site. (...)

| | | | Tim, I'm sure FBTB still has just as much support as it ever did, if not more. I've been visiting you're site every day for nearly a year now, and it seems to me that there are more new faces popping up in the forums these days than is normal. I (...)
