HISTORY OF THE GROUP:
The group was created in a split of rec.arts.anime in 1993. It passed
its vote on 27 April 1993, 166:31. The group was active between August
1993 and December 1999.
The group was mentioned in a reorg of rec.arts.anime in 2008:
"rec.arts.anime.info is a moderated newsgroup that had an unhealthy
moderator that recently passed away, hence the low traffic. Furthermore,
there is some desire to retain the newsgroup, with the addition of a new
moderator(s) at a later date."
PROPONENT: Steve Bonine <s...@pobox.com>
