Proposal: rec.autos.simulators.gpl

I think that this would be a good idea, considering the massive volume of GPL-posts here, it would make it easier for anyone who doesn't like GPL and people like me who look here mostly for GPL. -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind 'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound And then I know I'll never get back out" -'Narcolepsy', Third Eye Blind

And 3 years from now... You probably won't. Making newsgroups in the Big 8 about a specific title is something that doesn't happen. Go make yourself an alt. group or a web forum. :-) -- Gamer / Programmer But not a Game Programmer

>I think that this would be a good idea, considering the massive volume of >GPL-posts here, it would make it easier for anyone who doesn't like GPL and >people like me who look here mostly for GPL. you'd need to show over 100 specific posts a day, and that the voilume would be continous. I can't see it really. Take it to news.groups in a properly formatted RFD, but i think you'd be shot down very quickly. alt.config is your best shot, but i really can't see people making use of it.

Yeah... alt.games is a good place to start. M

Gosh, is it that time of year already? Rather than discuss it maybe just head to Dejanews and look through the many times in the past this has been done to death. Cheers! John

Well, then - how about rec.autos.simulators.historic ? -- I am a Member of: *TEAM-AMIGA* AND Madness Mailing List(s) ******************** Keep Gates Clear! ********************

No one forces you to read GPL posts. It would be much easier for the people who *don't* want to see GPL related posts to put GPL in their Newsreader Subject Killfile and then their newsreader would ignore all GPL posts, problem solved, this way you wouldn't be forcing all the r.a.s. readers to go to multiple newsgroups just because a few people don't want to see particular subjects. We've been through this Newsgroup splitting idea each time a popular sim has came out and just think how many empty newsgroups there would be now if each time r.a.s. had split we needed a new newsgroup. rec.autos.simulators.gpl rec.autos.simulators.nascar rec.autos.simulators.gp2 rec.autos.simulators.icr2 rec.autos.simulators.icr rec.autos.simulators.gp and so on.... Get ready so see this happen again once Rally Championship comes out, then Nascar3 then GP3 etc... Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva

What is the "Big 8"?

yeah like when we needed a specific newsgroup for Nascar 2... etc etc. The need for a gpl specific group isn't one that will last all the long. In a couple of years it's probably wou;dn't even be used, as people who would want their GPL questions answered will want to go to the more trafficked r.a.s. root. But I still have my vote up for the Indy: The Simulation specific group. :) > >I think that this would be a good idea, considering the massive volume of > >GPL-posts here, it would make it easier for anyone who doesn't like GPL and

I know you read this newsgroup just for GPL.... it would be more less hassle to get a newsreader that allows for watch keywording on "GPL". Agent does that pretty well, and supports killfiles. :-) -- Gamer / Programmer But not a Game Programmer
