Wrong! If you create a new "alt" group without any discussion in alt.config,
chances are that your group won't be created (or will be deleted soon) at
some sites. That's what happened for alt.games.doom.newplayers and other
subgroups related to Doom.
If you want to create new "alt" groups, you should really post a message about
that in alt.config. But I'd rather create a new "rec.games.id" hierarchy.
There are two reasons for that:
- This would ensure better distribution of the groups.
- If the new "rec" groups replace the "alt" ones and people are discouraged
from posting in alt.games.doom after some time, then maybe they will take
look at the appropriate newsgroup before posting. If we just keep
alt.games.doom and add new subgroups, then most people won't notice and
will keep on posting in a.g.d.
If we want to create some "rec" groups, then we have to post a Request for
Discussion, wait for replies, then post a Call For Votes. This may take some
time, but I think it's well worth it.
