Be forewarned: the news-articles I write are satiric parodies of real articles that LEGO releases on their newsroom. There are exaggerated remarks in the spoof that are intended to have the sole purpose of making the article funnier. I did go on a somewhat inane rant afterward about what I think about China's government, however, which kinda goes "full-circle" so to speak back to the issue of LEGO kinda being in cahoots with China's government to, in my estimation, coax favorable court-hearings out of them. Just a wild hunch I have.
I agree...
Lol, that's great. I read your thread and its hilarious. Nice job on those they are funny.

*cough cough* Those posts are actually still being discussed, they haven't made it through yet.
I got a LEGO catalog in the mail the other day. I went to LEGO.com to find out what the deal with the new “Ninjago Legacy” sets was. As I gazed upon what was left of their website, I started feeling depressed. It was at that moment when I realized that what remained of my childhood was now gone. Bionicle was gone, the Message Boards were gone, the Gallery was gone, but seeing what LEGO.com had become was just too much for me.
Maybe it’s just me being unreasonably nostalgic. After all, I am legally considered an adult now. Perhaps I just need to put all this behind me and look toward my future.
Oh, and I still don’t know what the deal with “Ninjago Legacy” is.

Simple. Ninjago is making it to 100 episodes this year, so it's getting remade sets to celebrate it.
I talked to a guy named David of the LEGO staff, and I didn't really get him to bring back the LMBs or Galleries, but he says he could probably make LEGO Life better, improve it in some ways. Our conversation:
CUSTOMER (me) Can you bring back some old features, like the message boards and galleries? Older fans would be grateful, and younger fans could discover something they maybe didn't think would be cool. 11:08 AM
You are now chatting with David
CUSTOMER Hi. 11:08 AM
DAVID
Hello there! 11:08 AM
DAVID
Ah yes the message boards! We've condensed a lot of things like that onto LEGO Life and have even more coming to do stuff like that on the platform as well. 11:09 AM
CUSTOMER Ah, I see. 11:10 AM
DAVID
Yup. There's a lot of stuff like that on LEGO Life and we're building that platform to include many of the reasons people went to the things like the message boards and galleries on there. 11:11 AM
CUSTOMER Just curious - will you be adding more features to Life? And maybe some moderation so users can safely write text replies? 11:11 AM
DAVID
Features yes, in regards to text based commenting I don't know about that at this time. 11:12 AM
CUSTOMER The 3D animated avatars are also a cool idea! Maybe animated stickers depending on what the avatar looks like, or maybe custom emoji (with templates and stuff of course), would be a cool thing. 11:13 AM
DAVID
Yeah that does sound like it would be a cool feature! 11:13 AM
DAVID
We appreciate the feedback! 11:13 AM
CUSTOMER Thanks! So...how do I exit the chat? Do I just...save it? 11:15 AM
DAVID
No you just hit the X in the window in the top right. Not the one to close the window there should be another one. 11:17 AM

I figured it was just because they were running out of ideas.
