[Followups set to lugnet.admin.general]
Three new newsgroups in the .off-topic hierarchy have just been created.
For background on what has led up to this, please visit the following
super-monster of a thread:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/thread.cgi?lugnet.off-topic.fun:1436
(To make a long shory stort, the .off-topic.fun group is showing signs of
outgrowing itself. Plus, some other fun things are too juicy to resist.)
CHARTER/PURPOSE
===============
lugnet.off-topic.* (hierarchy):
Off-topic (non-LEGO®) discussions.
-> lugnet.off-topic.geek (group):
Geeking and geek toys (computing, games, peripherals, hacking,
science, etc.): discussions of a generally (but not necessarily
always) positive and serious or helpful nature.
-> lugnet.off-topic.pun (group):
Puns and punning (the usually humorous use of a word in such a way
as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another
word similar in sound) for incorrigible punsters; puns typically
made or directed here as follow-ups to messages appearing in other
groups (although puns are not required to migrate here).
-> lugnet.off-topic.qotd (group):
Special "Quote of the Day" group: Messages posted here start as
follow-ups to messages appearing in other LUGNET groups, the purpose
being to highlight an unexpectedly humorous, profound, witty/wry, or
ridiculously silly comment for general consumption and enjoyment;
NOTE: This group is not for making people look stupid (use common
sense), and it is not for posting maxims, proverbs, profundities,
etc. from outside sources; Instead, originality and (more
importantly) spontaneity are the key ideas here.
