To some extent, and then usenet started dying and they moved off to
discussion boards in other locations since among other things they
allowed pictures in the content for strategic type games and so on.

Those that stayed with usenet aren't particularly finicky, and most were
subbed to more than one group anyway and as the numbers dropped away,
..action just became the last.group.standing although .rpg still gets a
post once in a while.

The people actually using the group don't care about fit though, just
that this little outpost of usenet is still alive.
