There is obviously an interest in creating a WWIV newsgroup.
You have a choice - create alt.bbs.WWIV, or go to news.groups and
post a Request for Discussion and (if there is sufficient interest)
Call for Votes. This will take about 3 months from start to finish.
To create a mainstream group, you must have a 2/3 yes majority, with
Yes's outweighing No's by at least 100 votes.
If you create the group in alt, you can move it to mainstream later
if the traffic justifies it, but you will still have to go through
the voting procedure.
It's your baby......
