Check the charter for .space:
<QUOTE>
lugnet.space– LEGO SYSTEM Space™: products (information, opinions, reviews,
etc.); building (settings, contexts, characters, projects, models, layouts,
plans, tools, tips, etc.); inspiration (ideas, movies, books, literature,
magazines, music, historical events, etc., as they relate to Space); etc.

So mecha discussions aren't totally off-topic there, though I'd guess that
easily 75% of the .space discussion of late IS... According to how I read
the .space charter, people shouldn't be chatting over the wavelength of a
laser in that ng. Or discussing administrative issues such as this one. So
discuss mecha there, I'm sure people won't mind.

How? Why? And would it be a big enough benefit to move an already busy and
well-populated newsgroup, just to appeal to new voices?
Consequently, should .build.arch be moved to .town? Should .build.contests
be moved to .events? I'm sure you could argue that there are more
appropriate places for these newsgroups as well, but the fact remains that
people have been using them and are used to them where they are.
So to end my rambling, I'd take Matt's advice, and post to both if you want
to reach the mecha builders and the space heads.
Cheers,
