During<br /> the last few months of its existence, approvals (excluding FAQ&#039;s) had<br /> declined from 34 in the first quarter of 1998, to 13 in the 2nd<br /> quarter; to 3 in the 3rd quarter.<br /> <br /> Near the end of its active period, there were a couple on inquiries<br /> about the whereabouts of the moderators. However, most mentions of<br /> the announce group were in reference to the topic guidelines contained<br /> in the autoposted FAQ&#039;s.<br /> <br /> As an announcement group, it would not be appropriate to convert the<br /> group to an unmoderated status.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.arts.disney.announce was created in July 1995 as<br /> part of the re-organization of the rec.arts.disney.* (RAD)<br /> sub-hierarchy. In addition to RAD.announce, RAD.animation,<br /> RAD.merchandise, and RAD.parks were created. In addtion,<br /> rec.arts.disney was renamed to RAD.misc.<br /> <br /> Approvals in RAD.announce were roughly 5 per week until the last few<br /> months. The last approval was in September 1998. Auto-posted FAQ&#039;s<br /> continued to be approved until 1999.<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 /> rec.arts.disney.announce<br /> rec.arts.disney.misc<br /> rec.arts.disney.parks<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> rec.arts.disney.merchandise<br /> rec.arts.disney.animation<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup line is:<br /> <br /> rec.arts.disney.announce FAQs, lists, info, announcements.<br /> <br /> The charter (extracted from the r.a.d.announce posting guidelines):<br /> <br /> Articles that can be posted to r.a.d.a fall into the following broad<br /> categories:<br /> - Frequently Asked Questions lists, no matter how small or obscure,<br /> as long as they are related to Disney.<br /> - Periodic postings of all shapes and sizes, for example, resource<br /> guides, reference material, ongoing polls, monthly newsletters.<br /> - Articles deemed of significant interest to most of the<br /> rec.arts.disney.* hierarchy, such as announcements of new<br /> releases, fleshmeets, product recalls, . . .<br /> <br /> The following subject lines are typical of r.a.d.a:<br /> <br /> - [FAQ/PARKS] rec.arts.disney.parks Frequently Asked Questions list<br /> - [LIST/INET] Disney FTP and WWW sites<br /> - [VIDEO/ANIM] Cinderella video rerelease<br /> - [FAQ/FDC] Future Disney Cabinet Frequently Asked Questions list<br /> - [PER/POLL] Disney Rate Poll results<br /> - [TV/USA] New Disney Afternoon series commences Monday<br /> - [XREF/IMAGE] Network Artist picture(s) have been posted<br /> - [HOWTO/FDCMUCK] Obtaining an FDCMuck guest passport<br /> - [EVENT/AUST] Disney fleshmeet in Sydney<br /> - [LIST/MERCH] Disney stores list<br /> - [MISC/COMP] Mara font release<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-02-15 1st RFD<br /> 2007-02-26 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
