Welcome To The Nexus

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Welcome to MLNO; My LEGO Nexus Organization. This is the result of the recent reorganization that has been taking place. We have been putting a bigger focus on LEGO Universe, and while it's not perfect just yet, we're still working on it. However, it is coming together quickly.

We also have a new banner to match the shift from MLN, and also to match the new name.

[Legodac]

I do like the new banner pal, cool surprise I must admit. Though this only means I need to pull up my bricks, upgrade my pc so I can actually play LU with you all. For now, I hope you we'll all be content to see my smiling, ever wise and unpredictable face. 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That's okay; I need to do the same thing technically; so for now, I'm simply trying to actually get some knowledge of LU, so I'm not 'how do I look around', 'how do I jump', 'how do I... speak?' =P

Also, Jas was the one who made the banner, so three cheers for Jas. =D

[Legodac]

Hip, hip hooray...Hip, hip Hooray...Hip, hip hooray for Jas, thanks guys

I think this is a change in the right direction

Also, i think that this should be above of the moc on the front page, but that is just my opinion

That will be discussed shortly, and we are open to all ideas. Some will get polls, smaller ones will be decided in topic, I think. ( Sometimes it is very easy to see what people want)
Thanks for the input.

I think we should lose the 'my' part. It sounds out of place, and LEGO Nexus Organization sounds much more LEGO-y and natural.

[Kritzelei]

If so, it'll probably have to be 'The' LEGO Nexus Organisation. I see where you're coming from, KZ, the My also refers quite a bit to MLN.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Although I will support any change that the community wishes to make, please understand that stubborn old me will still refer to this place as the 'My LEGO Network Organization' regardless.

So will I, especially deep down in my heart.  but I support the community decision as well.

The 'The' part is stretching it to long. I think most people would rather have a short, easy to remember name than a name that partly refers to a slowly dying, not as popular as it used to be LEGO imitation of a Social Networking site.

I am sure we will have a whole topic for this soon, as we did the last time. Bear in mind we are trying to avoid a URL change for now,

[Legodac]

My Lego Network Organization or MLNO was a place created by a few special people, visited by many and certainly loved by me, which when the grammar applies means "my" place. The place I first find myself when I want to relax and say hello to my online friends.

Blade has changed a single word to fit with an ever growing online theme, yet we still have MLNO.

Btw, I still play MLN and always will, except on my Bi-millenia breaks.

Blade has made some changes, more than just a name and a logo, I for one say, more power to you pal, and well done.

Okey, MLNO is still MLNO, and I think what Blade is doing is saying that we will not stand still, we are going to move forward as a forum of friends and Lego Lovers, we will advance to a height that other forums won't find and we will become...

The "my" place to me, is simply saying what you want, when you get here, then we become ours, and hours of sharing....

[Intrepid]

I guess because, even though I'm way late in the game, I like the MLNO name and tie with MLN. I still don't have a clue where to start and what to do on MLN.

I also feel like you MLN lifers have been most kind to remodel for us LUers.

I also think we should keep the my, and the current acronym, as an allusion to mln. And a url change/new acronym would be a lot of work, and in my opinion, not much reward =P

[Trijhak]

The my sounds really cheesy. Really, really cheesy. Better off as LEGO Nexus Org IMO.

That, and it doesn't make much sense.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I understand that it doesn't make sense. However, as is said, we can't really do anything to change the acronym or anything... At this moment. The main reason is; if we changed the name, but not the URL... Wouldn't people get a little confused? We'll talk over everything, and eventually I'll get to asking SMF For Free about the URL, but as of this moment... I still need to catch up. =P

However; if we do go ahead with this, there'd need to be talks before hand. The other change was one that had been talked about prior to the deletion, and was only a one word change; that also didn't involve the acronym... So you can understand why this would be slightly bigger. Just saying. =P

[Legodac]

Okey, so we all admit the one thing, we have moved away from My Lego Network, that's cool.

Though I still play with a few others here, I think this forum is in need of some growth, and I think Blade is heading in the right direction.

I must say, afterall, we are all here to share something about ourselves that has to with Lego.

I for one, would like to see that part remain.
