    The future of GLUG —Mike Rayhawk
   The newsgroup's been quiet lately, so I got to thinking. Beyond the GenCon lineup, what are the plans for GLUG? Looks like there's a lot of interest, but everything's still pretty nebulous - how is the group organized? What decisions need to be (...)

      Grabbing www.gamelug.org (or SOME url that people like) is a good idea even if no website is put behind it. It doesn't cost much to grab it for a couple years and I'll cover the cost if no one else will. (21 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.glug)
