Er...this might be a good time to point out that Usenet threads and
Usenet readers do not really work like most web-based discussion
forums. Posting some kind of response usually won't "bump" the
thread back up to the top of the thread pile.
If you want to do draw attention to your event by reposting it -
after an appropriate amount of time has passed, of course - you
should probably copy the whole thing into the new post.

I will attend. I mean, which sane person would be able to resist that
much dominate?
It will be awesome times.
I hope any player who's able to attend decides to do so.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that use some kind of NG reader
connected to some kind of NG server to view this. I did some time ago
when my ISP actually had a news-server and found it terrible compared
to google groups. All I meant is that most people I know checks the NG
through google groups. That still applies even with the users you list
here.
To me it's perfectly insane that the official communication channel
for V:tES is on some kind of mysterious off WW/CCP site communication
relic when things like rulings should be found in official databases
and things like official V.tES discussion should be kept in official
forums.
That doesn't really matter though since that's not what this thread is
about. It's about going to Örebro this coming weekend and bleed with
dominate till you can bleed no more.

You may use GG and maybe many others you know use it. Nonetheless, it
contravenes long dusty old historic Usenet netiquette to ever make
assumptions about what kind of reader anyone else is using. There are
good reasons for this. People you _don't_ know use other newsreaders.
Even if everyone started using Google Groups today, tomorrow an even newer
method of reading newsgroups may suddenly become popular. Bottom line:
it's rude to assume anything about anyone's else's newsreader's behavior
except for the things that are truly standardized under Usenet.
(As LSJ indicated, I don't use Google Groups, by the way. On my newsreader,
I just see a silly one-word post when you do that.)

That's not surprising. Many ISPs, like mine, have horrible Usenet news
servers, if they have one at all.
It took some searching to find a good news server that's free of charge. I
heartily recommend mine. (Good news servers that cost money are easier to
find.)

Yes, "should" and "should", but the situation as it stands is as follows:
White Wolf can make good games, but they do not have a working website.
Just very recently my friend Petri complained he can't enter the results of
the Ropecon tournament using White Wolf's web form, since it can't handle
tournaments that have over 70 players!
And just go to http://www.white-wolf.com/ , click on "VTES CCG", then click
"Card Lists by Expansion", then click "Card Texts / HTML".
Oh, look! I just got a complete, alphabetical list of all the VTES cards
from ".44 Magnum" to "Ogwon".
And now I did it again. The list ends at "Nizzam al-Latif" and cuts his text
in half.
For me, having a *functioning* forum of discussion is much more important
than where that forum happens to be located.

Agreed. Which is why I would bother to make such a comment. If enough
people do perhaps WW/CCP will rethink their V:tES strategy which
ofcourse would involve getting a functional website up.

Agreed. Which is why a bump is a good thing since it brings up the
post for anyone using google groups as a newsreader. Sadly it doesn't
do the same for other newsreaders.
I would however agree that quoting the original text would be a good
idea when making a bump and that it's a good thing that you informed
Isak that the kind of bump he did don't work with other newsreaders. I
just wanted to say that it does work with google groups.

No, it doesn't. I do not check the NG with Google Groups. I find it terrible
compared with any proper threaded news reader. I use it only when forced. The
other users I list appear to feel the same (it would be insane to check the NG
with GG and then, when you find a post to which you wish to respond, locate that
post in your proper newsreader's list and then reply, when you could just hit
"reply" in GG).

Newswatcher, which is free shareware. And Outlook has a newsreader
function. Admitedly, the real issue is not the program, but getting a
news server. Most large ISPs (as far as I can tell) have just
completely abandoned offering news servers as regular service (I know
Road Runner has. I suspect that others have as well). I currently use
a free service that I can't even remember the name of currently. But
admitedly, have been using GG for a while now, as when my ISP killed
the news feed, it took me a few months to find a new server, so I just
got used to the GG. Newswatcher is, for my money, preferable. But
still, here I am, as it is the path of least resistance. And I can
check from work...

You use eternal-september.org ;)
For newsreader software, I've been using "tin" for years. But most
of you probably wouldn't like it.

Agent, and before that FreeAgent.

I use their Usenet service, APN, as well.
Carpe noctem.
The Lasombra

Your best source of V:TES information.
Now also selling boxes and individual cards.

I also use eternal-september.org; for my newsreader, I use Mozilla
Thunderbird. I only use GG when I have to, and hate it when I do.

Wow; I remember using TIN (assuming I'm remembering right, that is).
It was good stuff for its time. Of course, that was 1996...

It's still just fine; I can use it from anywhere, keeping a record of my "read"
messages, and it is pretty good at threading.
What else do you need in a newsreader?
