Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.announce.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 15 Jan 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove comp.sys.mac.games.announce<br /> <br /> comp.sys.mac.games.announce was always a low volume group, but then all<br /> approvals ceased for two years. I contacted Christina Schulman,<br /> proponent for the comp.sys.mac.games.* reorganization and moderator at<br /> that time, and she agreed to turn moderation over to me. Since I took<br /> over moderation in December 2001 there have been fewer than 10<br /> acceptable submissions in the best month, and many months there are no<br /> submissions. Christina Schulman agrees that since the group is not being<br /> used it should be removed cleanly and noted that most Mac game<br /> announcements are probably being made via RSS feeds rather than through<br /> newsgroups. Users would be better served to post their announcements to<br /> whichever of the following is most appropriate to the announcement:<br /> <br /> comp.sys.mac.games.action<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.adventure<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.flight-sim<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.marketplace<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.misc<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.strategic<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The comp.sys.mac.games.* groups were created after passing their vote,<br /> with the RESULT posted on 2 May 1995. csmg.announce was fairly active<br /> for the first 5 years, with an average of approximately 10 posts per<br /> month. From approximately Jan 2000 until December 2001, no posts were<br /> approved and the group never again picked up steam when active<br /> moderation resumed. Over the past couple of years, almost all of the<br /> mail to the submission address has been email spam unrelated to Mac<br /> games.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.announce<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.misc<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> comp.sys.mac.games.action<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.adventure<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.flight-sim<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.marketplace<br /> comp.sys.mac.games.strategic<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Kathy Morgan &lt;kmorgan@aptalaska.net&gt; - Current Moderator, csmg.announce<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2006-12-19 Results (passed)<br /> 2006-12-13 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2006-11-20 1st RFD<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
