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?

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...

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!

No. alt.games.diablo2.moderated has been around for a lot longer than
a month. I remember seeing it quite some time ago, and there was never
any traffic coming through to my free news server. I think about the
only message I saw in it was from someone I considered a troll at that
point (I may have been wrong).

But looking through google groups it appears to be at least 8 years
old so was probably created by one of the early agd2 people.

PS. I really doubt you get a agd2 moderated group to work.

I believe this group is from some time ago, not the one that was
discussed recently.  Someone at sometime created this, seems like the
first posts in it were from at least a year ago...

I have a lvl 29 Paladin, and I beat Diablo, I had been previously been
able to get into nightmare mode before the patch, even after the patch
I was able to.  Now I go kill Diablo again (in normal mode) and I can
no longer enter nightmare mode, it says all of my quests are complete,
but my title of "Sir" is gone and it does NOT give me the option of
nightmare mode.  Any suggestions?  Thanks all.

LOL Mouth creating a moderated group? I said before it will never happen and
it will not, point! Mouth says a lot of things that are obviously bullshit.
If he would create the moderated group , it would give him some credibility
but he will not. Mouth is a mouth who talk big but does nothing. Slowly
He.....will.......not......create...... the... group. Do you get it now,
little groupie. ;oP

Btw Here in AGD2 I am at home while Mouth often said  something similar to;
"Who need AGD2 since we have AGD". Ya, he came here after he f.cked up AGD
and almost killed AGD2, idiot! Do us a favor and move away from here.

The only reason he won't is because it already exists, you fool ;)

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.

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

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,

I have subscribed but it seems that nobody else on my NNTP server uses them.

(I got a DNews "Group download in progress, check back in a few hours"
message. My ISPs NNTP server doesn't carry groups that aren't being used by
anyone on that server but still lists them. When it gets a request it has to
sync with other servers. Good way to reduce bandwidth that isn't being used
anyway.)

I'm only doing it out of curiousity, I'm sure as hell not moving from here
(or AGD).

TTFN,

Hmmm, could be interesting. I'll have to see if anyone's using them when my
NNTP server catches up with the upstream feed.

Sadly, my server doesn't carry the moderated group, so I'd have to post
using Google Groups... and I'm sure everyone here has already PLONKED
everyone posting using Google. LOL!

It means that you and Freemont are very similar, like two peas in the same
pod. Identical twins, at least as far as moderation goes.
