Good heavens. Some of those groups looked rather general.
It doesn't matter if empty groups nobody uses are general or specific.
| FWIW, we're starting the rationalization of fr.* tomorrow. Let's act!
| The equivalent of the Big-8 Board for the French hierarchy sent a
| message a couple of weeks ago to cut a half of the fr.rec.*
| subhierarchy. We'll remove 44 newsgroups (out of 83) in fr.rec.* (as
| announced in <fr.rec.20260123@localhost.local>).
| Yes, we have much less newsgroups than the Big-8 so it's easier for the
| inventory of dead newsgroups. The process will last a few months as it
| will be done subhierarchy by subhierarchy. fr.rec.* was the one with
| the most empty newsgroups; there will be less removals for the others.
|
| Some newsgroups had 1 or 2 discussions over the last year and naturally
| were kept. Newsgroups squated and polluted by a few people too so as to
| keep the trollers/spammers in "their" newsgroups and not pollute still
| active and properly used newsgroups.
