[net.news.group] Creation of net.games.board and net.games.comp

ccrdan@ucdavis.UUCP (Dan Gold) (08/23/85)

I posted a request a while ago for the creation of net.games.board and 
everyone said that sufficient interest must be shown for its creation.
Well, if you have been reading net.games, the facts should be obvious.
People in that group have been agreeing that a split should be made in
net.games; the group should be divided into net.games.board (for those
who like board-type games) and net. games.comp  (for those who like
computer games).  Such a division would be logical and useful for those
who do not wish to wade through discussion of computer games to find
to find articles on their favorite boardgame.  The same opinion, of 
course, being true for the computer game enthusiast but for computer games.
If such a split were made, the general group of net.games could be 
discarded as it would only be redundant.  Any of you out there who have yet 
to voice your opinions on this, speak up, for the moderators are listening.

Yes! I wholeheartedly support the effort to create net.games.board
and net.games.comp. At the same time, perhaps net.games could be
deleted , as most of the traffic would probably go to one of the other
groups.

How about non-board non-computer games like Killer, Photon, Survival (perhaps
net.games.guns?)?
