Interesting Eurobricks Topic. "What kind of AFOL are you?"

[Darth Lego]

I saw this topic on Eurobricks and I thought it would interesting to ask it on here. Below is the original post by Bonaparte of Eurobricks.com. Here is the link to the quote/topic below on Eurobricks.com. (In the last question I changed Eurobricks to Brickpicker and I removed "regulator (indexing, ...)" since we don't have that here on Brickpicker. I then added "writing blog articles" instead. I also bolded and underlined some words.) If anybody thinks a poll would be better please let me know so I can add it.

Recently Hispabrick Magazine interviewed Jan Beyer, LEGO Community, Engagement and Events Team, in which Jan stated following:

I guess its obvious but I do actively write and support it. it is fun to write the blogs and get peoples direct views on what you write. I would help this site in any way possible.

Teens like myself can substitute TFOL for AFOL.  My answers are in italics and bold below.

What kind of TFOL are you?

• Are you a member of a LUG?

Yes or no.

 

No.

• Are you actively participating in your LUG?

If yes, what do you do (e.***. helping out during events, making displays, etc.)?

If no, what's holding you back?

 

?No because I don't have the time and my local LUG requires an adult to accompany you if you are under 18 so my parent(s) would have to come along.  

• Would you consider supporting more actively the online TFOL/AFOL community (e.***. Brickpicker) as a moderator, writing blog articles, making set reviews, etc.?

If the answer is yes, where do you possibly see yourself contributing?

If the answer is no, what's the reason (e.***. lack of time, ...)?

 

Looking forward to read your feedback!

I write blog articles from time to time. The only reason why I don't write more is because I don't have the time. I really like supporting this great community in anyway I can.

1) Nope.

2) Haven't really looked into it.

3) Yes: set reviews, blog articles, word of mouth advertising, but I would like to get more invloved... I'm working on something that is helping with that right now (It's coming Ed!).

What's a LUG??

[Guest eightbrick]

What's a LUG??

Lego User Group. Basically its a bunch of people, usually adult MOCers who get together and do things, including events (they will make community builds). The one in your area is called chilug: http://chilug.webs.com/ Hope that sort of answered your question.

LEGO USER GROUP

[justafrog]

1) No.

 

2) No. The "What's holding me back" is a vested dislike of joining real life groups with their real life dramas and angsts and expectations and humanity. I like my humanity in small doses I can easily control, like online; or in larger doses of people I actively like or love enough to cope with their occasional drama, like my family and a few close friends.

 

3) Sure, when I learn enough to speak up on more than an occasional forum basis.

[peculiar23]

1) No.

2) Haven't had the time to look into that sort of thing. It does intrigue me though.

3) I'd like to start doing some set reviews on here, but I haven't had the time to build a single set since I found this site in May. One day I wouldn't mind collaborating on some sort of giant build for a Lego event. Maybe one day.
