Following the comment period, the Big-8 Management Board<br /> has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup rec.games.frp.moderated<br /> <br /> This group will be removed on 07 May 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove rec.games.frp.moderated<br /> <br /> rec.games.frp.moderated has been inactive for several years, with no<br /> approved user posts or submissions since August 2003. Notices have been<br /> posted monthly since September 2004, looking for a replacement moderator;<br /> nobody has volunteered. The group can reasonably be considered dead, and<br /> should either find a new moderator that can try to revive it, or it should<br /> be removed.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> rec.games.frp.moderated was created in May 2000, in response to ongoing<br /> flamewars in the rec.games.frp.* hierarchy. The group enjoyed regular<br /> traffic for slightly less than a year, during which the flamewars in the<br /> hierarchy also died down; by July 2001, the traffic had fallen to nothing.<br /> <br /> As noted by Rick Pikul in June 2003:<br /> <br /> The trolls that were causing the problem in rgf.misc have engaged<br /> in a concentrated plot to kill rgf.mod.<br /> <br /> They are doing this by, mostly, behaving themselves.<br /> <br /> &lt;MPG.194dd4e29b7065cb9899d3@news-west.look.ca&gt;<br /> <br /> Since September 2004, I (Tim) have posted a &quot;DEAD GROUP&quot; notice to the group<br /> monthly:<br /> <br /> rec.games.frp.moderated is a dead group. It has gotten less than<br /> five relevant posts in the last 18 months; it&#039;s not even been worth<br /> sorting through the spam, and not a single person has complained. As<br /> such, as of 17 Sep 2004, I proclaim this group dead and buried.<br /> <br /> I will hold this namespace open to anyone that actually wishes to<br /> use it. Otherwise, if you&#039;re still reading this, thanks for stopping by,<br /> but you may want to check out the rest of the rec.games.frp.* hierarchy,<br /> which works a lot better than this.<br /> <br /> I have not received a valid submission since I began posting this notice.<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.frp.moderated<br /> rec.games.frp.misc<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin &lt;tskirvin@killfile.org&gt; - Technical Moderator, RGFM<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY: <br /> <br /> 2007-04-18 1st RFD<br /> 2007-04-24 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2007-05-01 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
