[net.news.group] We need net.sources.games BAD!!

joe@petsd.UUCP (02/05/85)

I think the time has come for net.sources.games for all you people that have
time to deal with the good stuff AND time left to play games.

What do you think?  Please send mail.  If +++, I will create it.  If ---, I
will forget about it (and possibly wear out my "n" key).

					regards,
					joe

What about net.games.sources ?
Recently I asked how people wanted hack 1.0.2 to be distributed.
One of the reactions was
> Please, I implore you not to post hack to net.sources again.  Ask users to

> charges for games distributed to the net. Even though I don't pay directly

and there were one or two similar reactions.
It seems to me that the people interested in net.games are the same as
those interested in game sources, so that net.games.sources would be a
more appropriate place.

   I think this is a great idea.  There  are  many  sites  who  cannot
justify  storing/shipping  games.  And,  no, it wouldn't automatically
create net.games.sources.{d,bugs} because that  can  go  in  the  same
group -- there just isn't *that much* traffic of games sources alone.
