[edit] Summary

Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs) discuss Lego-related issues and post about creations using its NNTP/e-mail/web forums. LUGNET members can track their sets, build web pages, rate postings and create polls. The website also features a database of Lego sets and provides links to other major Lego sites.

[edit] Purpose

The LUGNET Plan document states: To enrich the online experience for the LEGO enthusiast in a growing number of new ways. LUGNET is overseen by two admins: Gereon Stein and Rene Hoffmeister. Community members David Eaton and Dan Boger also have admin permissions on the site and assist Gereon and Rene.

[edit] Site organization

There are four general divisions of LUGNET:

• General
• Market
• Regional
• Themes

[edit] General

General is where users announce their creations, talk about issues, discuss CAD, review sets, and much else. This is the center of LUGNET activity.

[edit] Regional

This is where people from the same organizations and areas meet. The main international organizations are the International Lego Train Club Organization, 1000steine.de, Eurobricks.com, and Classic-Castle.com.

[edit] Themes

The themes range from Adventurers to Western, with everything in-between. Themes such as Castle, Town, Train, & especially Space are very active, while those such as Football (soccer in USA) or Fabuland are less active. Until recently Space was more active until the opening of Classic-Space Forum
