Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> rec.arts.movies.announce.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 05 Mar 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.arts.movies.announce<br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.arts.movies.announce has not had any approved<br /> messages since May 1998. The newsgroup was active for roughly 3<br /> years, with about one approval per day, reducing somewhat over the<br /> last year of activity.<br /> <br /> When the group was active, many lists, such as box office rankings<br /> were posted. These may be posted to rec.arts.movies.lists+surveys, or<br /> readily found on the WWW. Much of the other articles were<br /> announcements of movie-related web sites, which can be found using web<br /> search engines.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The moderated newsgroup rec.arts.movies.announce was created as part<br /> of a re-organization of the rec.arts.movies.* (RAM) hierarchy in March<br /> 1995. The re-organization also created the following newsgroups:<br /> RAM.tech, RAM.people, RAM.current-films, RAM.past-films,<br /> RAM.list+surveys, and RAM.movie-going, and renamed rec.arts.movies to<br /> rec.arts.movies.misc.<br /> <br /> Technically, the creation of rec.arts.movies.announce was a renaming<br /> of the moderated newsgroup rec.arts.cinema. But, as explained in the<br /> RFD and CFV, this was simply a mechanism that removed rec.arts.cinema.<br /> The content, moderator, and moderation policy of the two groups were<br /> totally separate from each other.<br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.arts.movies.announce was active for just over 3<br /> years, from March 1995 to May 1998, with roughly one article per day<br /> at first, declining to about half that in the last year.<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.movies.announce<br /> rec.arts.movies.misc<br /> rec.arts.movies.lists+surveys<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> rec.arts.movies.current-films<br /> rec.arts.movies.past-films<br /> rec.arts.movies.movie-going<br /> rec.arts.movies.people<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Jim Riley &lt;jimrtex@pipeline.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-02-07 1st RFD<br /> 2007-02-21 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-02-28 Results<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
