         Re: 34 new newsgroups! —Todd Lehman
     (...) Yup! (...) Yup! Just as Space is the name of the system to which the Insectoids theme belongs, Underground is the name of the system to which the Rock Raiders theme belongs. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: 34 new newsgroups! —Fredrik Glöckner
     I'm not really sure if I like all these new newsgroups but it's too late to talk about that now anyway. I'd just like to have a clarification if it is ok to post buy/sell/trade, auction or other market-like announcements in these new groups. If it (...)

         Re: 34 new newsgroups! —Matthew Miller
      (...) I don't think that messages like that are allowed, since the charter doesn't explicitly say so. And the default is no sales messages unless explicitly allowed. And, even if such messages were okay, the example you give should have been (...) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

         Re: 34 new newsgroups! —Todd Lehman
     (...) Yup! But also, the new groups are the natural discussion-counterparts to the new themed sub-areas of the website, which are just now in their infancy. For example, the Castle area (URL) and its counterpart group lugnet.castle are wide open to (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Themed groups are for discussions, not ads (was: 34 new newsgroups!) —Todd Lehman

It's been pointed out that a few initial FS and WTB posts are beginning to show up in the new themed groups, for example: (2 URLs) these types of posts are indeed annoying, it should be noted that new groups often: a) attract a few more people (...)

     Hi Todd, A lot of good work. Although why only 1 org for US based clubs and not an worldwide site for clubs. Why spreading it all around ?

        Fabuland group (was: Re: 34 new newsgroups!) —Todd Lehman
     (...) Oh, my!...Fabuland got lost in the shuffle somewhere. OK, there's now a Fabuland group: lugnet.fabuland <==> (URL) can't believe nobody noticed! I *know* there are tons of Fabuland fans out there! :) --Todd (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Fabuland group (was: Re: 34 new newsgroups!) —Sybrand Bonsma
     (...) Thanks Todd, for making also a Fabuland group. I noticed that you didn't make any when the rest of the themed groups were made, but as the theme was discontinued already 10 years ago and there aren't many messages about it (1), I thought you (...)

     (...) i had noticed the ommission too, but assumed it was because the theme had been discontinued. i'm glad it's here now though. i remember seeing these sets as a kid, but thinking they were too baby-ish for me, and at 13, model team was where it (...)

         Other missing groups? (was: Re: Fabuland group (was: Re: 34 new newsgroups!)) —Todd Lehman
     (...) No, it wasn't left out on purpose -- it was just an unfortunate oversight. In fact, Fabuland was listed on this page long ago, (URL) a niche thematic-interest group likely to pop up...it's always been something inevitable. So -- Are there any (...)
