RESULT
comp.sys.mac.games.announce will be removed

period for final comments. Following the comment period, the Big-8
Management board has decided by consensus to remove the newsgroup
comp.sys.mac.games.announce.
This group will be removed on 15 Jan 2007.

comp.sys.mac.games.announce was always a low volume group, but then all

submissions. Christina Schulman agrees that since the group is not being
used it should be removed cleanly and noted that most Mac game
announcements are probably being made via RSS feeds rather than through
newsgroups. Users would be better served to post their announcements to
whichever of the following is most appropriate to the announcement:
