Following the comment period, the Big-8<br /> Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup<br /> rec.games.trading-cards.announce.<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 12 Mar 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.games.trading-cards.announce<br /> <br /> The newsgroup rec.games.trading-cards.announce has not had any<br /> approved messages since July 1998.<br /> <br /> A month earlier, the moderator posted an article titled:<br /> &#039;[admin][important] The future of this group&#039;, stating that:<br /> <br /> &quot;This group isn&#039;t working... I know that. The question is what to do<br /> about it.&quot;.<br /> <br /> He said that he didn&#039;t have the time to moderate the group, and<br /> requested anyone who wanted to replace him as moderator to contact<br /> him. He mentioned that official submissions from game producers had<br /> &quot;just about hit zero of late&quot;.<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.games.trading-cards.announce was created in December<br /> 1994 as part of the re-organization of the rec.games.deckmaster.*<br /> sub-hierarchy. As part of this re-organization, the 2 existing groups<br /> in the rec.games.deckmaster.* hierarchy, along with 5 new groups were<br /> placed in a newly established rec.games.trading-cards.* (RGTC)<br /> hierarchy.<br /> <br /> The new groups were RGTC.announce, RGTC.jyhad, RGTC.magic.rules,<br /> RGTC.magic.strategy, and RGTC.magic.misc. The renamed groups were<br /> RGTC.misc and RGTC.marketplace, renamed from rec.games.deckmaster and<br /> rec.games.deckmaster.marketplace, respectively.<br /> <br /> Approvals in RGTC.announce were roughly 3 to 4 per week from December<br /> 1994 to July 1998. There have been no approvals in the 8-1/2 years<br /> since then.<br /> <br /> Historical Footnote: In the CFV, the creation of the new groups was<br /> handled independently from the hierarchy renaming. Voters were first<br /> asked to approve creation of rec.games.deckmaster.announce, etc.; and<br /> then as a second ballot item asked to vote on renaming<br /> rec.games.deckmaster.* to rec.games.trading-cards.*<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.games.trading-cards.announce<br /> rec.games.trading-cards.misc<br /> rec.games.trading-cards.magic.misc<br /> <br /> The proponent will also post pointers to:<br /> <br /> rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad<br /> rec.games.trading-cards.startrek<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 /> 2007-03-07 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
