I don't think the likely level of traffic warrants two groups.
I suggest creating ne.singles and if it becomes overrun with
personal ads then think about ne.personals or ne.personals-ads
I'm not partial to the name of the personals group but I definitely do
think there should be one separate from the discussion group. Ads are
extremely annoying to people who simple want to discuss things and it
is a pain to wade through discussions when all you really want is to
read ads. I don't think the lack of traffic will be an issue for very
long. And when the traffic finally does get to be a problem it is
difficult to get people to adjust to the creation of a new group.
Momentum, you know.
(or maybe "ne.motos"? :)
Definitely not. I think most of the participants in this discussion
are looking for a place for singles to gather not a place for "mates"
to gather.
