My thought was that if a while down the road, the name of Castle World was
changed, and it became a problem with the newsgroup, it might not hurt to
change the name of the newsgroup.

Would it be possible to edit (automatically of course) all the messages to
cross-post them into the new group?

It does seem that Castle World is sufficiently established now however that
the name is unlikely to change.
