| if other websites can do variants, it's not about problematic variants.
problem is BL design. you're pointing to the right thing here.
and by not solving the core problem, it means we going to see even more variant
kills.

BrickLink could serve all users if the database was designed correctly. I agree
the site has added too many variants which are pointless and annoying for the
average user, but I've also argued for years that this is only an issue because
of inadequate site design.
If you truly want to move the site forward, then do it the right way. BrickLink
users who don't care about variants should never have to worry about them,
while those who do care should have access to all variants.
This proposal to consolidate variants is the easy way out of a difficult situation.
Instead of the easy way, choose the right way. Redesign the catalog system.
It has needed an overhaul for the last 24 years.

| sounds like everything already decided.
sould like mama Lego imposed it or else.
fearing instant community backlash, someone came up with the idea.
if we let them talk, they wont revolt.
let a week of mourning, then move on.
boss said it, so we do it.
and us, why do we waste 2 hundreds messages on that non-negotiable nerf

| Please NO.
We actually need more/better handling of variants.
We should recognize more variants right now.
BL already behind Rebrickable on variant handling. behind. a lot. really.

Nothing sounds more bricklinkish than naming colors in spite of Bigplasticorp
directives.
I still remember when someone tackled a new entry with a blunt "alien pee
green"... lol... and it was a yellow at that time... rofl.
Keep up the good humour pals.
