2)  Personal Q:  This is probably more of a plea than a Q.  :-)  Will
LEGOfan.net incorporate dicussion forums?  If so, please make them
accessible via NNTP.  IMHO NNTP is the single best feature of LUGNET and one
I would like to see continue if the LEGO community migrates from LUGNET to
LEGOfan.net.

I'd rather see this new site point to Lugnet for the discussion forums.
It's quite well done here, and there's little point in spreading everyone
out.


True.  Lugnet discussion forums are excellent.  And the ability to access via
HTTP, SMTP, and NNTP is probably unique and not done anywhere else online.

Where Lugnet totally missed the boat was with _PRIVATE_ message boards.  Lugnet
never created this function and so there are dozens and dozens of private
Lego-related message boards.  EZBoard is nice; Yahoo Groups has its advantages,
too, as do other message board services, but it would have been ideal for Lugnet
to have developed private message boards.

Ideal in the sense of not having to rely on the other services for the various
message boards.
Ideal in the sense that I think Lugnet newsgroup functionality is superior to
all the others.
Ideal in not having to log in to a variety of sites and services to keep abreast
of all things Lego.
Ideal in that ALL discussion and news would be on ONE site--Lugnet.
