This seems to be a dead group. I'm trying to get the oval track guys to go
here as we seem to get lost in the GP3 group.

Primo... it's not dead. Last correct/on-topic post by Don Hodgson dated
August 3rd. You can not assume newsgroups are dead just because you don't
see any messages, due to propagation and message life differing from isp to
isp.

Secundo... it's a binary group. That means it's meant for posting files
(related to this group fyi), and not for normal "text"-posts.

Tertio... it's considered very poor manners to attempt to take over a
newsgroup.

If you feel you're drowning in a see of Gp3 posts on RAS, may I suggest
Jacob's server (news.simracing.org). Which has a newsgroup architecture on a
per game basis.

I've been reading this newsgroup for about 5 years now.  We always get lost
in whatever the latest realeased SIM is (specially when we've been waiting
for it for what seems like forever).  Weren't we lost in F1 2000 just a
while ago.  And just wait 'till WSC get's released.  You think your lost
now???

Don't worry, the "oval" posts will come back up for air soon.

This NG will explode when WSC comes out.

I can see it now...

WSC sucks!
WSC rules!
Where is the WSC WaReZ?
Is my P75 powerful enough?
Is my P1150 powerful enough?

In fact, let's jump into the future.  Take the last month of postings and
replace all "GP3" with "WSC".

And I simply set my news reader to delete all "GPL, GP3, GP2" type headers
so I don't even see them!!

And having a architecture for different sims doesn no good at all.. 99% of
all post land in n3.discussion.. well except the ratbag.discussion,
nh.discussion and wsc.discussion

% This seems to be a dead group. I'm trying to get the oval track guys to go
% here as we seem to get lost in the GP3 group.

Some ISP do not carry all of the alt.binaries.... newsgroups.  Due to
the extreme load some of the put on their resources.

Tip of the day for posting to r.a.s.  ALWAYS start the header with
something to indicate what the thread is about..  This way one can
ignore posts about things they are interested in and can also find ones
that they are interested in.....

  o Is the subject line both descriptive and accurate ?

  o People can select the articles which most appeal to them if you
    include a keyword in your Subject Field with something about the
    topic you are posting about.  Since many different simulators are
    discussed, it is highly suggested that you start off your Subject
    Field with a "code" related to the topic you are posting. This
    will make it easier for readers to choose the posts they wish to
    read.  Also, some news readers can actually filter out specific
    posts to be read or discarded based on keywords.
    Examples:
        Code            Simulation

        F12K            Formula 1 2000
        F1RS            F1 Racing Simulation
        GP1             Grand Prix 1 or World Circuit
        GP2             Grand Prix 2
        GP3             Grand Prix 3
        GPL             Grand Prix Legends
        ICR2            IndyCar Racing 2
        MGPRS2          Monaco Grand Prix Racing Simulation 2
        MTM             Monster Truck Madness
        N3              Nascar Racing 3
        N99             Nascar Racing 1999 edition
        NFS             Need For Speed
        NFSSE           Need For Speed Special Edition
        SCGT            Sports Car GT
        SODA            SODA (Short-Course Offroad Drivers Association)
        TOCA            TOCA (Touring Car Contructors Association)
                        Touring Car Championship

  o If you are following up an article to create a new article, please
    remember to delete the References: line in the header. This will
help
    the readers who use a threaded news reader; otherwise your new topic
   will be mixed in with an old one.
