Check out the links sections on the first 3 sites maybe?



Do I detect sarcasm? If so, are you seriously saying that these things (colors, logins) are the only differences between the LS sites around today?

No, I don't think a change like the one you suggest would do LS any good. But for the sake of argument, let's say we would manage to create a big, united LS site. We're all one big family and everything's just peachy. Then this guy shows up, he's been using LS for a long while but like you he's been lurking. He wants to start his own LS site, maybe a specialized one, maybe not. Shouldn't he be allowed to do that? Should he be forced into this megasite project or become an outcast? Also, it's not unlikely to think that after a while, some people involved in the megasite will be so unhappy with the compromises they're forced to live with that they decide to jump ship and start their own project elsewhere. And boom, suddenly we have many sites again instead of a single one. And the only thing everyone will have gotten out of it is work gone to waste and even more confusion. Now I'm not saying this will happen, I can't know that of course. But knowing the community it seems likely.

However. What LS does need though, is a sort of hub-like community site. No site that has come along in more recent years has managed to fill the shoes of ls2k.org which was an excellent community site. I had hopes for ls.com when it was relaunced (ahead of schedule...), but it since nothing has been updated there for like 5 months I guess it ain't gonna happen (I seem to disagree with DeV on this :)). nbi-studio.com certainly shows promise but not enough people know about it yet. So maybe that's what we need. A central place with lots of links and news, not an huge end-all LS site.
