Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Geek posts usually are easy to
identify. Mostly pun-filled threads, though, seem to be moved over
from other groups.
My point is that if some people think there is enough traffic to
warrant .geek (not sure if there is or not) then surely, there is
enough to warrant .pun. Especially since most of the punsters seem to
think, "well, this is a thread on .build, .cad, (or whatever) and a
few people have made puns in it, let's move it to .fun."
If .fun has become the default group for moving puns or starting them,
why not .pun?

Changing them immediately to [PUN] was ... might help.
