Discussion began on 12 Mar 2008,<br /> and completed a week later.<br /> <br /> The three groups will be removed on 12 Apr 2008.<br /> <br /> NEWSGROUPS: <br /> <br /> rec.arts.anime.games Group will be removed.<br /> rec.arts.anime.models Group will be removed.<br /> rec.arts.anime.music Group will be removed.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: <br /> <br /> First the numbers -- the first number is the total posts for the year 2007,<br /> and the second number is the total posts for the month of December 2007.<br /> <br /> rec.arts.anime.creative 133 4<br /> rec.arts.anime.fandom 524 18<br /> rec.arts.anime.games 4 0<br /> rec.arts.anime.info 33 3<br /> rec.arts.anime.marketplace 266 17<br /> rec.arts.anime.models 55 2<br /> rec.arts.anime.music 64 5<br /> [There were 10s of 1000s of posts in rec.arts.anime.misc last year.]<br /> <br /> As can be seen by the above numbers, four newsgroups had less than 100 posts<br /> in all of last year [2007]. rec.arts.anime.info is a moderated newsgroup<br /> that had an unhealthy moderator that recently passed away, hence the low<br /> traffic. Furthermore, there is some desire to retain the newsgroup, with the<br /> addition of a new moderator(s) at a later date.<br /> <br /> Of the remaining three, what little discussion there was previously in<br /> rec.arts.anime.games and rec.arts.anime.music, has migrated to<br /> rec.arts.anime.misc. rec.arts.anime.models is mostly eBay ads with the rare<br /> on-topic post garnering one to zero replies. Given the near absence of<br /> on-topic traffic, I propose the removal of these three newsgroups.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY:<br /> <br /> All three were newgrouped as part of the second rec.arts.anime.*<br /> sub-hierarchical reorganization on March 18, 1996.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> rec.arts.anime.games<br /> rec.arts.anime.models<br /> rec.arts.anime.music<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT:<br /> <br /> Rob Maxwell &lt;robu-san@excite.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2008-01-15 1st RFD<br /> 2008-03-12 2nd RFD/LCC<br /> 2008-03-31 Results (passes)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
