yep.

Also, it doesn't take multiple accounts to view a shop that has you
stop-listed. All you gotta do is Log OUT of the site and try to enter
the shop without being signed in as a current member.


Holy crap RTL has gone downhill so much that just about the only fool
who posts here regularly now is Onideus the Shithead.

You've got your history wrong.

r.t.l was, in fact, quite active (for a rec.toys Usenet group) before
Lugnet. The RFD for rec.toys.lego went out in Oct 1993, and because of the
active readership of alt.toys.lego, it succeeded and r.t.l was born.

From what I can tell, Lugnet didn't come into being until 1998. That's
about a five year run for r.t.l before Lugnet. Without an active readership
in r.t.l, Lugnet would never have had such an easy time getting off the
ground. The most important things that Lugnet provided in the beginning
were the guides (sets, pieces, colors, and etc.). It took some time before
the forums became active enough to essentially replace r.t.l. It was early
enough in the history of the Internet that Usenet news was still faster to
access, especially for those who were on dial-up (which was likely the
majority of the r.t.l community since it was only 1998).

I was around when alt.toys.lego was created, so it would have been created
sometime in the late 80's to very early 90's.
