Brian -- I disagree. The Internet is the Internet. What's the harm? It's not like anyone is going to abandon LUG just because they might find another source of photography that they enjoy. And in the case of Photography That Doesn't Suck, no one is saying anything sucks. That's the point of it. The person deciding is me -- just as the curator of a museum or the owner of a gallery or a chef in a restaurant has the right to make such decisions by the very nature of their position. I run Photography That Doesn't Suck like an online gallery for people who appreciate my opinion about what makes a GOOD photograph -- no criticism of what sucks is ever voiced (and goodness is there ever a lot of, in my humble opinion, sucky stuff being passed off as fine photography). If someone enjoys my choices, it's the same thing as someone frequenting a particular gallery they like. .
