[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] lets make comp.sys.ibm.games

curtism@uncw.UUCP (mike curtis) (08/01/90)

 Lets start a new games group called comp.sys.ibm.games. I know that
 there are thousands of you fellow netters that play games, so lets
 start a new group that deals only with games! I really don't know
 how to start a new group, but I thought if I started some disscusion
 on the subject it would get the ball rolling. Please e-mail me if you
 are interested in this new group, also post any comments or help
 about starting a new group. COME ON EVERYONE lets get this group
 together, after all event the Amiga has a games group, but then
 again that's what toys are for :-).  If you have any questions or
 comments I would like to hear from you.
 Lets do it.

Sounds good.  Anyone else interested?  I'll check to see what we
have to do to start a newsgroup.

There already exists a games hierarchy in rec.games.  Check it out.  Let's
leave comp groups for computing.

I'll vote yes on that- with the growing market of computer games, this
topic deserves its own board- plus we wont have to flood
rec.games.video (mostly Nintendo, Atari, Sega).

OK, right idea, wrong hierarchy. If you don't want rec.games.video
congested, create rec.games.ibm.pc.

I will vote NO on comp.anything.games! It's not the correct place for
it.                    ^^^^^^^^
