[RFD] a binary newsgroup for jeep+willys
 

Just toying with the idea of crossing the netgods
of alt.config with a request for a new newsgroup.

The idea would be to provide a place where folks could
post pictures, sounds, short vid clips, etc. related
to the Jeep (or heck, 4x4) world.

One of the requirements is finding out if there
is another news group out there that could suffice.
So far my search turned up zilch except for
alt.binaries.pictures.autos
(nice cars on there by the way)

The proposed group might be something like
alt.binaries.pictures.autos.jeep+willys
or alt.binaries.autos.makers.jeep+willys
although the abamj+w would make a new hierarchy
and may not fly.

Thoughts?

The easier to stuff in an existing hierarchy, the
more likely news servers are to carry it.

Would the folks at Cox be able to help with all
of the trivia, discussion, voting, etc. needed
to add the group? And perhaps get their peer
ISP's to carry it?

Yea. That's what the FAQ said.. but I'm sure the fine
reserved folk on alt.config will help me sort it out. ;)
(firmly tongue-in-cheek)

Possibly. I do know one of the cox email abuse guys
posts to news.admin.net-abuse.email. He could probably
point me to the news server admin.

The FAQ points me to alt.config, but I need to do some
more homework (i.e. read other binary group charters)
before stepping into the snakepit.

alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 exists.

I post some shots there now and then, but it is pretty much an unused
group.

Hmm.. then there isn't a real need for another binary group.
Just need to bother the folks at cox.

I'll send in a request.

Found "alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4, when I did a NG search.

There was only spam messages, when I checked it out.

Re: [RFD] a binary newsgroup for jeep+willys
 

Look really hard at the list - there are a pot-load of misspelled,
wierd "almost" right names. My local ISP carries it but I doubt it's
used for much right now - 1 spam from a tool dealer, 12 repeated spams
with the usual "you want my seester?" flavor, all dated today. Might
be a good takeover target, tho...

OK, I just got it added to Earthlink's servers, if anybody wants to
