"LUGNET™ unites LEGO fans worldwide through discussion groups, web pages, and services." It is "an independent site by fans, for fans" and not operated by the LEGO Company. Some highlights include an online crossword puzzle and a discussion forum that has apparently been called "the friendliest place on the Internet." Also available from this website are links to hundreds of other websites by LEGO fans, a gallery of LEGO creations, information on using LDraw to build your creations using the computer, a Minifig Generator to assist in designing characters, a LEGO survey, an opportunity to build your own web pages on LUGNET, reference materials, an events calendar, and information on LEGO products.
