Moving ABML to the Rec Hierarchy?

by Kat Hein <katenigma00@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 23, 2008 at 11:23 AM

In case people missed the developments in the "I need a recommendation 
for a usenet service..." thread: Thanks to the governor of NY putting 
pressure on ISP's to stop carrying the binary groups (and I suspect the 
ISP's being more than happy to comply, to free up the bandwidth) Verizon 
has announced that they will no longer carry the ALT hierarchy, or 
anything other than "the big 8" and it's possible that other ISP's will 
follow Verizon's stupid move.

As a result, it's been suggested that we might want to move over to the 
Rec Hierarchy. This plan was first suggested circa 1996, according to 
William George Ferguson, but at that point, the Powers That Be wouldn't 
let ABML move to rec.arts.books.m-lackey, but said their structure 
system would put us under rec.arts.sf.written.m-lackey. Apparently there 
was much heated debate and flames about it because people didn't want to 
become RASWML and the move eventually got tabled.

Well, we don't get into massive wars like that around here anymore, but 
I still want to hear opinions, just in case. :) Personally, I think not 
liking the new name of the group isn't a compelling reason not to move 
when staying could mean that eventually only a couple people would be 
able to access ABML for free (other than via the joke that is google 
groups) But ABML does have a long history, and maybe it would be too 
hard for people to get used to the new name and digs.

So what does everyone think? Should we move over to Rec, even if it 
means that likely we'd become RASWML, or should we only move if we can 
become RAMBL, or not move at all? All opinions and suggestions are 
welcome! :)
