- Well, definitely the main group would be a comp.xxxxxx group... if
- not, there's no reason to go through all the formality of creating the
- group. I was just wondering if an alt.binaries group for the demo

- usefull, I guess.
-
- I REALLY like your suggestion of putting it under programmer.demos. This
- should make the content more clear.

- That's why such a group should be put under one of the binaries
- hierarchy if that's all it's going to be - they're set up for such a
- thing. The amount of GIFs posted in a day there would make anything
- we could do pale in comparison :).

-
- That's what I was thinking of... getting together, talking about
- demos, rating them, talking about upcoming stuff, there should be a
- lot to talk about.
-
- A big part of it, of course, is how many members of the demo groups
- would be able to read/post.
