Me too!

I may be misunderstanding the problem, but I think you simply need to set up the
new address for posting messages (at http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/) as
well as in your LUGNET profile.

When I initially registered to Lugnet back in 2002, I had plague(at)videotron.ca
as email address.
A year later I dropped that email and entered my two new valid ones in my Lugnet
profile,

However, I cannot find any way to change it for when I post on the forums.

When I try with stephane_simard(at)videotron.ca, it tells me it can't validate
this address yet ... and sends me to the posting setup procedure page. But even
when I go through with it, it either doesn't work, or puts me back to the old
plague(at)videotron.ca

Help!

BrickWiki has an acronym list:

I’m also maintaining a wiki-based AFOL site in the Hungarian language, where I have a page for acronyms and terms. (I haven’t touched it since last January, though) I think I based it on yourFAQ, so let me use this opportunity to thank you for your original list!

Hi Akos,

It’s nice to see the LEGO community moving with the times onto more current forms of content such as wikis. I wasn’t aware of BrickWiki but it seems an admirable community product!

Glad I could be of service for the Hungarian version as well! :-)

Hiya folks,

Was googling myself (uch, nasty habit(1)) today and saw that I haven’t touched the acronym FAQ in over two years. My inclination is always to do a quick search on the word “acronym” and see if anyone needs new updates, but the matter of fact is, I’m not really following lugnet at all.

So, my question to you is - is there a need for a live, updated FAQ? Or is the old one “good enuff”? And, is someone interested in taking over? If so, please let me know by email - shiri.dori AT gmail.com. (not sure how to change my authentication email). Or, just copy the FTX source and run with it. Just don’t forget to give credit where credit is due (mostly to Derek Schin, and a bit to yours truly ;-)

All the best,

-Shiri

(1) ...six years later: CastLEGO has finally dropped to second place after my LinkedIn profile. Not sure when exactly that happened. Only 3 of 7 results are lego-related (used to be 9 of 10, my DBLP page was the first to sneak in) and my relatively-recently opened blog barely makes the top twenty. Hehe.

Ah! We were typing at the same time. Thanks, Thomas.

I see on that site that the list is labeled: "10 Important LEGO Features" rather
than "Core Values".

..Also interesting there is a list labeled:
"10 Important Requirements for LEGO Effort and Results":
    1 — Be objective and truthful
    2 — Be positive and simple
    3 — Be economical
    4 — Be international
    5 — Stimulate enthusiasm and inspiration
    6 — Encourage imagination and activity
    7 — Keep the Lego characteristics
    8 — Place the matter ahead of personal matters
    9 — Follow up on the matter
    10 — Comply with the fundamental idea

Core Values

Ah, here it is. From the book, "50 Years of Play":

The 10 LEGO Criteria for a good toy, guidelines for development of the product:
10 Important LEGO features
1. LEGO = unlimited play potential
2. LEGO = for girls, for boys
3. LEGO = fun for every age
4. LEGO = year-round play
5. LEGO = healthy, quiet play
6. LEGO = long hours of play
7. LEGO = development, imagination, creativity
8. LEGO = the more LEGO, the greater its value
9. LEGO = extra sets available
10 LEGO = quality in every detail

And of course there was the motto from the 1930's"
"Only the best is good enough."

So, perhaps I was incorrect in having thought this list was of "core values". It
seems like they were more like "product guidelines". (sorry!)

According to a press release in 2001, the core values were: imagination,
creativity and fun. The newest diagram adds two more: quality and learning.

I don't even see it in our old rtl FAQs. Does anyone have a copy they can post
here?

And, LEGO Company, why is the list missing from the LEGO website? Have the
values been replaced with by your new (rather vague) diagram? If so, when
exactly did the original list go away? (curious)

As I recall, some were:

- quiet play
- fun for both girls and boys
- more product equals more possibilities
- [something about quality]
- [something about timelessness?]
- [something about creativity/imagination]

I'm embarrassed that I can't remember them. :-/

I guess I'll look for an old copy of their press kit...

Hi Kennie,

When you're logged in, you can add sets to your profile by going to the set page
eg. http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8480 and antering the number of copies in the
public info boxes. Once you've done that, they will show up in your set list.

You can add multiple sets at once, by entering all the set numbers separated by
commas eg: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=8880,8480&v=a and fill them all in at
the same time.

On the top of the page is a search drop down menu. Drop down to set reference
and type in a set number you are looking at selling. When you find the lugnet
reference to this set, at the bottom is a box where you can fill in how many you
own, want to buy and sell. Then press update.

This is the only way I know how to do it. Hope it is some help.

If a tree falls in the woods it makes a sound even if there is no one to hear
it. Same with me, I’m building, even if you can’t hear the 1 rake.

The Rake: AFoL term, to Rake is to drag your hand and fingers through a huge
unsorted pile of peices looking for a specific part. Human endurance has rose to
new levels by means of the rake. Several divorces and couch sleeping episodes as
well.

The Rake is ussually associated with poor sorting skills, a new bulk find and or
a marked desperation to locate a single element. A series of grumblings is often
heard from the AFoL: $@#@^!%*&^!%!$%^...need just one in this color, or two like
this in this color instead! *(!&!%!&#(@#(#@!^@&*())--rake-rake-rake--

that means ATL was around pre-1993, or whether there was some other venue where
Lego enthusiasts had discussion. Or if people were just mis-remembering. Anyone?
Thank you for the correction. I joined the community back in about 1994
on RTL, and now that you mention it, I remember to have heard of an
alt.toys.lego, although not more than hearsay.

Hmm... Wonder if the wikipedia has entries for RTL/ATL...
Well, just do it. Wikipedia is a new encyclopedia every day ;-)

BTW, if you would create an account there, you're no longer a simple IP
address in the articles history ;-)
