My apologies if I'm missing something, or if this has already been • addressed,
but I was wondering if there is anyway to get notification of activity in a
newsgroup here?  Short of subscribing to it in e-mail of course.  It's just
that it seems to me that a lot of the local area groups you've set up here • have
so little activity in them that it's easy to forget about, or miss on the
traffic report.

There is currently no way to get notification of activity in a newsgroup
except by subscribing to it by mail.  <http://www.lugnet.com/news/mail/>
I'm subscribed by mail to all 583 loc.* groups and don't look at them in my
newsreader.

If there was a way for you to get notified (short of subscribing via
e-mail), what would be the most convenient way for you to be notified?


Well, one that springs to mind fairly quickly is something that you might want
to think about incorperating into the next phase of Lugnet.  If I'm not
mistaken, one of the next steps would be to offer space on the Lugnet for
members.  One of the things you could offer (and I have _no_ idea how hard this
would be to set up) is a variation of the traffic report page that will track
target groups by when the were last active.  For example instead of 'n messages
in the last day', it would be more like 'n messages since last you check this
group'
