I feel strongly that this will encourage others to create "(theme)
MOTM" contests, and that will spell the end of the unique recognition
of the MOTM name/abbreviation to LDraw.org.  It would be a similar
situation if the Cool LEGO Site of the Week were still running, and
someone else decided to make the "Cool LEGO Technic Site of the Week,"
not associated or endorsed by LUGNET/Todd Lehman at all.  I'm sure he
would have a similar problem with that.

Actually, I wouldn't mind.

community know what MOTM is and can figure out what Technic MOTM is
all about...

Personally, I think your choice makes a lot of sense, and I agree with you
that it would be good for the community to have a simple and straightforward
name like "[LEGO] Technic MOTM".

To be honest, if I went looking for something called
the Technic MOTM, I'd probably go to ldraw.org first to
find it. So, I think you can call it what you want, but
something else might be better.

"MoTEC" just sounds so cool, how can you resist?
(mentioned earlier in the thread) It even has an
international feel, like "Model 'o de Technic de Competition"
:)

I'm not resisting, I've been occupied the past week. Hope to fix it
tomorrow :)

I still have not decided on the name...

He's alive! All this time I've been mis-pronouncing "loog-net"
over and over in my head, just to flush him out.  All we had
to do was use his name in vain!

P.S. just kidding about the "loog-net" thing :)
