Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* > Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... > ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* Now indexed at isc: ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/alt/alt.games.diablo3.gz I guess all thats left is the promotion part... ...asking your ISPs to carry the group (let you post/read it) ISPs will be able to view the request now but if they dont action on it within the next few days/weeks/months then you might need to contact your ISP and ask them to let you see the newsgroup :¬) (It all depends on how often your ISP updates its newsgroup list & if they want to carry it) Somewhere on teh intarweb "Trammel" typed: >> Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... >> ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > (It all depends on how often your ISP updates its newsgroup list & if > they want to carry it) My usenet providor updates the newsgroups list pretty much daily. If I haven't seen it in the next few weeks I'll email the sysadmin and ask. I have FA bandwidth at the moment. Do you know if there's a projected release date for D3? Cheers,  SignatureShaun.

I also added alt.games.diablo3.moderated as a moderated group with all posts going to my email account first. Im hoping the moderated group wont be needed but I'll try to create some scripts for auto-moderation that can be set by mods. If anyone wants to moderate the forum with me then just lemme know :) Present posters in any of the alt.games.diabl* groups would be best suited to moderation, along with members/editors/mods of Diablo related forums/websites. Im thinking of making the moderation script have the following "alert" levels: *Green: Everything is allowed in the newsgroup (The script should automatically switch to this when there are no moderators & also requests moderators) *Yellow: Only "filtered posters", "filtered IPs", etc will be filtered from the list *Red: Every new poster not already on the safe list will have posts delayed until a mod adds them to the safe list Filter options Im thinking of creating for mods to use as an automated filter system: * Account (name, email, ip, etc) * Authorised/unauthorised crosspost groups * Authorised/unauthorised websites/links * Word/phrase Feedback, anyone?

VirginMedia customers should have access to the new group(s) on Monday/Tuesday if all goes well. Following is the reply from my ISPs support.usenet group when asked about how often they check for new alt.* groups in relation to alt.games.diablo3 : "Hi Trammel, In response to your question, not all groups are automatically added to the news servers. There is a download made daily of the ISC active groups, and anything within that list can be added. I have checked and alt.games.diablo3 is on that list. However we are currently unable to add groups here at the Technical Support Department. I will get this chased up on Monday to see if it can be added. I hope that helps." > Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... > ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* Thanks. I send a request to the staff at http://dotsrc.org/ > Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... > ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* Both groups on my isp newsgroup list already >> Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... >> ...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* > > Both groups on my isp newsgroup list already Wow - thats some fast updating!

Prob was there from the beginning, I forgot to refresh the list. >Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... >...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* This group has now been added to Forte's APN newsgroups which are served by Easynews. So far no messages however.... -- "Fate is like a caged gorilla.

So far no messages however.... Yup. My ISP added the group within the last few hours and it has no posts. I've tried posting but it didnt appear. Can anyone else post to alt.games.diablo3 and/or see posts yet? >>>Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... >>>...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >I've tried posting but it didnt appear. Can anyone else post to >alt.games.diablo3 and/or see posts yet? I was able to download posts today but can't post. The server my post saying that it is an invalid newsgroup.... -- "Fate is like a caged gorilla.

One of my ISPs had it as a listed group the other day, and now it is gone. I did see about a dozen or so posts on it and even posted/replied on it. Anyone know what the scoop is on this ? >>>>>Nobody had tried to create this yet, so I set the ball rolling... >>>>>...no idea how long it'll take before it propogates but *shrug* [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > I did see about a dozen or so posts on it and even posted/replied on it. > Anyone know what the scoop is on this ? No idea. I just made a test post and it worked fine so Im guessing your usenet server/admin messed-up. Contact your ISP to get the group fixed or re-added. |
