Split the newsgroup

Wondered if anyone thought that this newsgroup is getting very popular and we might want to split it between some of the software packages? -- Ed Coye Coye Consultants, Inc.

I like all driving sims, and I'd rather have them all in one spot instead of hunting across 4 or 5 newsgroups. Compared to some newgroups, the 100 or so messages here a day is very managable. -- http://www.users.fast.net/~fusion1 (dirt bikes, rat bikes, rental car abuse...)

Ed Coye wrote Popular ?? Not really... I don't see the 200+ message a day that it had years ago. There is no point of _even_ thinking splitting this newsgroup. Oh and btw.. it would never get even passed the RFD on news.groups. There is no point of doing that, seriously. There is many other newsgroup who would diserve a chance to split than here. With the FAQ system me and Michael E. Carver are making in place, I don't see why we should split. I would say r.a.s. is even pretty calm... well if you take Bruce off the picture ;-P Well, if anybody wants to make a rec.autos.simulators.powerf1 , I think Im gonna go puke now ;-) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s.

No way. Leave it as it is. I want to read about all racing sims, even the ones I don't have. Paul M

Big time! I agree completely with Tim. A hundred or so posts a day is nothing, and having them all in one place is like one-stop shopping <ggg.> All the best, Mike -- Michael S.

I think we should leave well enough alone. I for one like having all the games in one place. > Wondered if anyone thought that this newsgroup is getting very popular and > we might want to split it between some of the software packages? > -- > Ed Coye > Coye Consultants, Inc.

Well, I do think it's a good idea to split the newsgroup for learning purposes for editing so theres no knowledge and creativity for editing pages, but it really aint worth it like you said ymenard the group doesn't have enought massages daily.

If those people who want to split the group want to avoid posts on a particular software package, why don't you get a newsreader with filters and just filter out those messages you don't want to read? I prefer getting all my 'sim' info at one place. If this group is split we are going to get a lot of cross-posting. If someone wants to know about the best graphic card or wheel for his sim, we are going to get that post in all the split groups. (& when the hell is Gran Turismo coming to the PC.... wake up SONY)

Well, I aint sure about software packages splitting because this newsgroup doesn't get really that much messages daily, but I would consider making a newsgroup for just editing so we can bring some cool stuff into the sim games we love so much. Mark F. P.S> I do have software on how to start my own newsgroups and have done it in a private newsgroup server, but it aint on 24 hours a day or even 7hours day. but i will look at this seriously when i get my server started. >Wondered if anyone thought that this newsgroup is getting very popular and >we might want to split it between some of the software packages? >-- >Ed Coye >Coye Consultants, Inc.

>Wondered if anyone thought that this newsgroup is getting very popular and >we might want to split it between some of the software packages? It's not a good idea. It wasn't one in the past, and it isn't one right now. I'm surprised you're bringing it up right now - I would have expected the next round when GPL hits the shelves. For all arguments imaginable concerning this question, consult dejanews (using the complete database!) We had this discussion whenever a new sim came out. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome. Uni des Saarlands \ and U.S. law. You have been warned.

This group doesn't have half (probably less, much less) of the traffic that flight sims has, and that group manages fine. A split would overly complicate and confuse things for no good reason. There is always a great deal of traffic when a new, *good* sim is released that drops to very manageable levels after a time. IMO a split of this group at this time is neither desireable nor warranted.
