For any anime or manga related fan work including<br /> stories, parodies, original scripts written by fans, poems, song<br /> lyrics, and original artwork. Only the actual fan works will be<br /> posted here - any discussion regarding these works should be posted to<br /> rec.arts.anime.fandom.<br /> <br /> <br /> Rationale for removal:<br /> <br /> The group currently has no moderator address assigned and hasn&#039;t seen<br /> any posts since 2017. The posts from the years 2013-2017 are only FAQ<br /> posts. The last non-FAQ post was in 2012. That means the group was<br /> unused even when moderation was still working.<br /> <br /> In a 2025-01-03 RFD initiated by the Board, the group was proposed for<br /> deletion as part of a mass cull of moderated groups without a<br /> moderator. The group was excluded from the 3rd iteration of the RFD<br /> after someone expressed interest in moderating it. Despite repeated<br /> queries, the Board has had no further communication from this<br /> potential volunteer.<br /> <br /> As the group is unusable in its current state, it is reasonable to<br /> remove it.<br /> <br /> <br /> History of the group:<br /> <br /> 1995-11-18: 1st RFD (create; originally as rec.arts.anime.fan-works.misc)<br /> 1995-12-12: 2nd RFD (create)<br /> 1996-01-18: 3rd RFD (create)<br /> 1996-03-13: Result: rec.arts.anime.creative passes 292:51<br /> 2025-01-03: 1st RFD (as part of a mass deletion)<br /> 2025-02-02: 2nd RFD (as part of a mass deletion)<br /> 2025-03-11: 3rd RFD (as part of a mass deletion)<br /> 2025-05-05: Group excluded from LCC<br /> <br /> <br /> Procedure:<br /> <br /> Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup<br /> should subscribe to news:news.groups.proposals and participate in the<br /> relevant threads in that newsgroup.<br /> <br /> To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to<br /> news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> All discussion of active proposals should be posted to<br /> news.groups.proposals.<br /> <br /> If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the<br /> discussion may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken<br /> to ensure that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as<br /> well.<br /> <br /> For more information on the newsgroup removal process, please see<br /> https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Removing_newsgroups<br /> <br /> <br /> History of this RFD:<br /> <br /> 2026-07-23: 1st RFD (remove)<br /> <br /> <br /> -- <br /> Usenet Big-8 Management Board<br /> https://www.big-8.org/<br /> board@big-8.org<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
