Well, my knee jerk reaction is "Definitely!". There have been a LOT of posts on
Castle World development and potential concepts, to which there has been a lot
of negative feedback-- primarily being that it clutters and bogs down
lugnet.castle.
However, I'm not inclined to think that it will be a trend that will persist--
I think once Castle World actually gets to be a developed site with established
policies, etc., the posts on LUGNET will drop dramatically. Hence, any group
established for castle world will probably become a more or less dead group,
unless there are continual posts to it about 'new updates' and what members
have added recently, etc. And THOSE posts aren't what are bothering steady
.castle readers-- it's the horde of messages like "I think scale should be X
with these rules governing structure placement and realm division, etc.". At
least that's my impression...
Anyway, I'm certainly happy to see a lugnet.castle.castleworld group become
inplimented, but I think it has the potential to die off really fast (within a
few months). If Todd et all don't mind having a dead group, no problem here!
But I assume that's part of the consideration of creating a new group-- how
'permenant' the group will be.
Otherwise, I would most likely suggest a mailing list for CW... I can look into
supplying one... I think that would most likely work best for a 'short-term'
solution...
Other ideas?
