Perhaps you could mention what the group is called?

Why was this group created?  I may have missed some of the discussion, but I
have seen no discussion regarding the need for such a group?  Did my recent
posting of three games cause a bit of upset? :-)  In any case, the games
were indubitably source, and I don't see any reason why they should be
separated from other source.  I mean, there aren't news groups like 
net.sources.{utilities,kernel-fixes,misc}.  Why the singling out of games?

There's a very good reason: some of us are short on disk space and
can't afford to hold it all. I expire net.sources after 5 days here
anyway. But the utilities, kernel fixes and whatnot are interesting,
and I scan the title list daily, saving anything that seems important.
On our site, new games are of no interest, and we have turned off
net.sources.games.  Thank you, whoever came up with the idea.

You never gave its name.  What is it?
