I am partial to the MLNO for obvious reasons, but I am seriously looking forward to the new forum Quetz & Sully are forming.
Why??
Because it is all about the community and supporting the community.
Because it will have more bells and whistles than MLNO (there is only so much you can do with SMF)
Because it is all about the community and supporting the community. yeah, I know I said that once but it bears repeating. Quetz & Sully are not in any kind of competition to grab the most members, they are not focused on anything but SERVING the LEGO UNIVERSE COMMUNITY.
We need a forum that has as its central goal being a gathering place for the community to discuss the game and other things. And when that forum opens I will join and support it in any way I can. Of course, the MLNO will always be my home.
MLNO is in rebuilding mode after a data wipe, and trying to recover the years worth of LU stuff that was not backed up on the SMF servers, and is a bit less organized than we would like to be. In The LU area alone we lost a few dozen topics and hundreds of posts, not to mention the rest of the forum.
MLNTeam has a nice community, but not much activity in the LU area.
Vanish is incredibly generous in starting a forum at lunibook, but his focus has to be on his first love.. the database.
There are a bunch of other forums out there, but I do not know the staff, or who has access to ip, email and other info, so I probably won't be joining them.

One critical thing to keep in mind is to stay connected until the new forum is up.
No one is restricted to belonging to only ONE forum.
Until LEGOUni closed I was on the staff of a couple. I also support BZP, and a few other forums.
There is good stuff to be said and read everywhere. Lets not loose sight of that and scatter to the winds.

lastly, a note to Sully & Quetz... please open soon!!
