Dear BrickLink members,

The BrickLink team informed me today that they will be discontinuing the discussion
forum. On June 1st, 2023, the forum will become read-only. Six months later,
on December 1st, all posts and their replies will be purged from the site.

Among other reasons for this decision, the team cited improperly formatted replies,
lower than expected participation in Le Mustard Club, the desecration of the
French language, and the cost of storing Nubs_Select's excessive posts.

We know that those of you who spend way too much time on the forum will be heartbroken
by this news. However, the BrickLink team assured me that they are looking into
reviving the chat feature as a replacement. In the meantime, please mail all
catalog requests to:

LEGO BrickLink, Inc.
16815 Von Karman Ave
Irvine, CA 92606 USA

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

P.S. In case you didn't get the joke… Happy April Fools' Day!

If I could part out my own I would display it with pride.

If they ever implement a "Like" button, I'm going to +1 posts like
this! Thank you for the comedy relief!

Cheers ...
