it's an easy question...

Why would this person who is promoting the 'other lego website' decide
to specifically promote it via direct private message-ads to members instead
of just posting the message-ad directly to the forum as a thread?

Most likely, they have done so already. Fortunately, the mods are pretty quick
about cancelling spam messages in the forum. However, they can't cancel private
messages.

yes, you are correct,
posting that information in the forum is considerd Spam.
irregardless of if above the ad it says, " i recieved this message, it is a scam"

Hello!
Is there any way I can get Lego bricks a certain color that doesn’t exist on
the catalog? Like, can I message Lego? Or do I just need to paint the piece?
Any help is appreciated.

Btw, I know that “selling modified bricks” is against tos, and so is selling
the “test bricks” so don’t start jumping all over me. I just want to know if
there is a way FOR MY PERSONAL MOCS.

Thanks again! 😊

When it comes to nonexistent part/color combinations, you have three main options:

1. Use the same part, in a different color
2. Use a different part, in the same color
3. "Illegal" options (painting, clone bricks, non-LEGO, etc.)

If you're going to paint pieces, I would recommend painting only the side
that will be seen on the final MOC. Painting the studs will make it difficult
to connect to other pieces.

Getting the color to match TLG colors will be challenging, but many paint or
auto shops will be happy to mix you the right colors if you bring them a sample.

As far as I am aware TLG does not make parts to order, so contacting them directly
probably won't get you very far. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

In my opinion, part of the creative fun of building with LEGOs is using a limited
building palette; e.g., only parts from a certain set, or only official LEGO
parts.

Perhaps try some different pins or bars. I’m decently sure I know what your taking
about and am almost certain I’ve seen it done before.

I wish we had an adapter so you can put 2 bricks bottom down together! Does that
make sense? Does that even exist though?

Something like this but thinner.

Yikes. For some parts it’s possible to use other combinations of parts to make
them (even if it gets complicated) I’m pretty sure that large slope could be
recreated with smaller parts and maybe the one bracket you could use a 2 tall
one on the top and an inverted 1 tall on on the bottom etc.
