G4A Posted November 11, 2000 Share Posted November 11, 2000 Please don't use this stupid newsgroup. There is already a better one for discussing Combat Mission: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.war-historical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted November 11, 2000 Share Posted November 11, 2000 Cripes, how many different forums do we need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is: alt.games.combat-mission Other newgroups are just a mish-mash of every strategy game imaginable. CM is now becoming quite popular and deserves it's own newsgroup. Go there and post and interesting topic. Contact your ISP and have the group added. It is good for Combat Mission and good for the people who wish to discuss CM. Thx for you input.

Unfortunately, a troll is at the group spamming it so just ignore the spam and start an interesting thread. I am confident the ng has a bright future with your support.

The 'key' now is for people who read this to send an email or phone their Internet Service Provider ( ISP ) to have alt.game.combat-mission added to their ISP's Usenet server. It is called propagation and allows you and others on the same Usenet server to use the newsgroup from now on. This should insure the success of the group. http://www.geocities.com/combat_mission1/Charter.htm Once you get it on your Usenet server, start an interesting thread and get people talking there.
