- There is obviously an interest in creating a WWIV newsgroup.
-
- You have a choice - create alt.bbs.WWIV, or go to news.groups and
- post a Request for Discussion and (if there is sufficient interest)
- Call for Votes. This will take about 3 months from start to finish.
-
- To create a mainstream group, you must have a 2/3 yes majority, with
- Yes's outweighing No's by at least 100 votes.
-
- If you create the group in alt, you can move it to mainstream later
- if the traffic justifies it, but you will still have to go through
- the voting procedure.
-
- It's your baby......
