I suggest that BrickLink remove all links to LUGNET from catalog pages.

I just tried to use the LUGNET website and it does not appear to be functional
anymore.

Which saddens me, although I cannot say I contributed much to keep it alive lately.

I registered for Lugnet by mail. That would have been almost 20 years
ago. '97 or '98 maybe?

Now... What's my Brickshelf password...

I messaged René and he told me the server got a kick and is now running again.

If anyone knows who was last in charge for updating the database, we could try
to motivate them to start over. Even René and Gereon don't know who it is/was.

There was a single database update in 2015
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qy=2015
After 2011 only a few sets were addded
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?qy=2012

The set links from BrickLink to Lugnet are faulty.
They use - instead of _
I will drop a message to QA_Ryan.
