I was looking at GG to see the really long subject lines that some fools
put up, and I wonder if everyone sees what I see:

a.g.d2.MODERATED???

Has it always read this way, and I just missed it? Just a Google Glitch?
Thoughts? Ideas? Discussion? Coffee?

I'd say it's a GGG. (I have a coffee right now, thanks.) AFAIK this group
has always been unmodded. However, I haven't been here for ever. Perhaps,
once upon a time, it was modded?

TTFN,

There appears to be a goup named alt.games.diablo2.moderated. I don't
know that is is actually a moderated group or not, but that is it's
name. It's not trying to say that alt.games.diablo2 is a moderated
group.

Last month Mickey said he had put in the request to create agd2.moderated.
They must have done it. Personally I think we should all move there the next
time VD et al rears his head...

It's an odd description for the group.

alt . games . diablo
Description: Blizzard's fantasy adventure role-playing computer game

news . software . readers
Description: Discussing software for reading network news (Usenet).

alt . games . diablo2
Description: alt.games.diablo2.moderated The Official Diablo 2 newsgroup

alt . games . diablo2 . moderated
(No description)

*shrugs*
Looks like someone screwed up the description in the group's charter way
back when, and it just never got corrected.

There actually is an alt.games.diablo2.moderated but it seems to be both
inactive and without a moderator: it's only had a smattering of posts in
the last two years and most of those were spam.

Mickey probably also made it out like he cashed in all manner of favors
for it, and how it was a big deal, despite the fact that any monkey with
a computer can create an alt.* group while 5 other monkeys are all
sitting there with rmgroup scripts raring to go!

Actualy, now that you mention it, I remember noticing it a few years back
when I was setting up my newsreader.

Somewhere on teh intarweb "~misfit~" typed:

Yup, my server still lists:

alt.games.diablo
alt.games.diablo2
alt.games.diablo.moderated
alt.games.diablo.necromancer
and
alt.games.diablo.tboh (hatever the hell that means).

I remember pondering them last time I re-installed and set up my newsreader.
I might subscribe to them all and see what happens.

Cheers,
