Yes, I would agree. Time twisters/cruisers is a bit of a rogue theme. They
don't fit really into any of the 'regular' categories (town, space, castle,
etc.) But I don't think it merits its own theme, either. What is it? Its a
bunch of ideas from different themes, such as trains, for the Twisted time
train, pirates for the flying time vessal, etc. It is rather like those
paint ball paintings. I wouldn't say that it fits into any of the current
themes, or its own theme.

Well, there is room, but almost nobody posts in western, football/soccer,
etc. I don't think that anything would happen in a slpha team group. I
would classify it as military. I mean, secret agents? Helicopters,
rocketships?
The more recent line would be under aquazone. I don't think there could be
any arguments about that.

Well, galidor IS a toy, unlike trading cards (a game) and writing pen (a
utensil). No matter how much we hate it, I bet some people who like galidor
will come... look at the bionicle newsgroup, for example.

Yeah... hope! :-)

Well, it IS a part of lego's toys. Bionicle isn't exactly very compatabile,
either. But it has a some quantity of posts in its group. I hate galidor
as much as the next man (NOT kid, mind you), but I still think that because
it is a distinct theme, it merits its own newsgrup.

Yeah, definintly!

| (...) Hmm...I could see arranging to place the Alpha team in the build.military newsgroup, but yes, It also goes with aquazone. Unfortunately, a lot of the newsgroups get very dislam post ratings, i.e western, undergrooung, basic, need I go on. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)
