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.

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.

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". :-) -- "Dean Williams" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TlFi5.20368$[email hidden]... > And just wait 'till WSC get's released.

You forgot one... WSC ran just fine on my 3dfx but I just bought an Nvidia and now my solitare is broken.... dave henrie "Sideshow Bob" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

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. -- **************************** Michael E.
