Forum Upgrades
CC Team 04 I 09
The CC admins are taking several measures to reduce the amount of spammers joining the Classic-Castle.com forums.
First, we are temporarily suspending new registrations until grading is completed for the Colossal Contest VI.
This period of time will likely last three to five weeks.
Next, we are requiring that all existing CC forum members without any posts to post at least once.
This shows that you exist as a real Lego castle fan and not a spammer.
Please see this thread.
We will delete any account without a post in one week.
Finally, we will be upgrading the forums to the latest php system.
We should be able to include the existing posts in the new setup.
All new members will be required to post why they are interested in Lego Castle and post within the first week of their membership.

Defenestration
Bruce N. H. 17 XII 08
As you may know, I love MOCs that teach something about history.
The Hussites of Bohemia were a forerunner of the Protestant Reformation.
When Jan Hus was executed as a heretic, trouble broke out in Bohemia, and people began to speak of revolution.
In spite of suppression by the king, a procession of Hussites marched through the streets of Prague on July 30, 1419.
When some members of the town council threw stones at them from the Town Hall, the mob grew angry,
storming the building and throwing several of the town council from the windows.
This First Defenestration of Prague
led to the Hussite Wars, the first war in Europe where muskets and similar weapons made a decisive contribution.
Martin, aka Thire5, is a Czech student who has been building with LEGO since childhood.
He's a member of Kostky.org, where he posts his MOCs.
The First Defenestration of Prague
is his first castle themed creation, and all of his creations can be seen in
one or the
other of his Brickshelf galleries.
