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. Fred

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. Regards Alex Ek Swedish NC

Happy to disabuse you of that notion, then. LSJ does not use GG. Fred Scott does not. Lasombra does not. James Coupe does not. Nor do Alf Andreas Nusser Atomweaver Dai Damnans Daneel Izaak Jakob Sievers Janne H�gglund Johannes Walch Jozxyqk Kevin M. librarian Matthew T. Morgan Orpheus Rob Treasure robert joseph Ross Ridge Tetragammaton (Just looking at the headers of posts so far in this month)

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. Regards Alex

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.) Fred

It took some searching to find a good news server that's free of charge. I heartily recommend mine.

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. > That doesn't really matter though since that's not what this thread is > about.

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. Regards Alex

_angst_

[ quoted text not captured ] 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. Regards Alex

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). [snip unrelated bits].

Wilsoros

LSJ et al, What programs do you use instead of GG? That information would aid to the conversation. Wilso

[ quoted text not captured ] 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... -Peter

[ quoted text not captured ] 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. best - chris

Jozxyqk

[ quoted text not captured ] 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?
