I'm not trying to be a wet towel, but I've always viewed LUGnet as the 'center
portal' or 'hub'  of the lego community--it functions as exactly that, AND a
discussion site.  Secondly, Lugnet already fits the "concept of a LEGO site that
the community could truly call its own."  Thirdly, LUGnet already has "the
involvement of the LEGO Company itself."  basically, LEGOFan.net seems totally
redundant and *almost* feels like a slap in the face to LUGnet & Todd.  HOWEVER,
more Lego sites are a good thing.  Good Luck.

(...) The main reason is that LUGNET is not owned and run by the community. I love LUGNET, and I think Todd (and Suz, before she retired) did a great job in setting it up and running it. However, development on LUGNET can only be done by invitation. (...)
