Split up Newsgroup.

> Please can we start the process to split this newsgroup up, now? There's no "WE" about it; you want to start it, start it. (See below for how...) If you are interested in doing that, read the periodic posting in news.announce.newusers. It details the process for creating non-alt newsgroups. FWIW, I'm opposed to the proposed split, but don't let me stop you from trying... I suspect the number of postings is quite a bit less than 100 per day, and almost any capable newsreader (program, not human :-)) should be able to make short work of that volume of traffic... Also, the traffic you are seeing now is certainly not representative of the usual level of traffic in r.a.s.... ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

Same here, and I do agree. When GP2 was released, there were a bunch of messages on it, then it tapered down to a trickle. Same thing for Nascar2. Soon it will "taper off". however, I am in the opinion that Nascar by Papyrus is the most *** in discussion, and a lot of us have most if not all of the sims. Personally I own Nascar1, Nascar2, GP, World Circuit (for the Amiga, which I still love). I won't bother with all the out of date ones... oh yeah, the one that really started it all - INDY 500 for the Amiga! That was the coolest one IMHO. I've spent many a night running 200 lappers with that program!

Being from the UK you'll know the Hula Hoops ads.... Oi! Richard! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (please) :) We've _been_ through all of this and we'll go through it every time there is a new sim around. A pocket of people who can't be bothered to skip past the GP2/ICR2/N2 posts whinge endlessly about "there's too many posts", and soon the "too many posts" messages make sure there really are too many posts. In a couple of weeks we'll be back to normal traffic. Even now it's far from outrageous. Cheers!
