Master List of Anime Related Newsgroups
------------------------------------------------------
This is a list of anime-related newsgroups on Usenet, based on a series of
postings to alt.fan.bgcrisis on 20-21 August 2000, research by the new
maintainer, and submissions to the original maintainer, Rob Kelk.
It begins with the rec.arts.anime newsgroups and their history and then moves
onto the anime newsgroups in the alt.* hierarchy and the regional hierarchies.
This list will be posted monthly to rec.arts.anime.misc and
rec.arts.anime.fandom.
Ideally, the list maintainer would like to have at least as much information on
all the groups as he has for rec.arts.anime.misc. Please submit unlisted
anime/manga newsgroups and corrections to Rob Maxwell <robu...@excite.com>.
SO WHY SHOULD I USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN REC.ARTS.ANIME.MISC?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a number of good reasons to use the specialized newsgroups.
The most important reason is that not everyone has unlimited access to Usenet.
North America has an unusual telephone setup in that local calls are billed by
the month - much of the rest of the world has telephone systems that bill local
calls by the minute. People who live in these countries have to pay to download
every set of message headers in the newsgroups they've subscribed to. Thus,
they'd much rather only download the headers of messages they want to read.
It's just polite to keep messages separated into the appropriate groups, so that
you don't force these people to pay for information they don't want.
Also, the regular readers of specialized newsgroups share a common interest that
may not be shared by people on rec.arts.anime.misc. If you're looking for a
certain tidbit of information, you're more likely to find it on the appropriate
specialized group. (For example, it's possible that some regulars on
rec.arts.anime.misc may never have watched "Ranma 1/2" - it's much more likely
that the regulars on alt.fan.r-takahashi, alt.fan.ranma, alt.fan.ranma-one-half,
or rec.arts.manga.takahashi will know minutiae like Tendo Akane's height and
weight.)
Additionally, the specialized groups tend to get less traffic than
rec.arts.anime.misc does. Your message is less likely to get "lost in the crowd"
in a smaller newsgroup.
Finally, some topics are considered unwelcome in r.a.a.m as they have a more
desirable newsgroup that already exists and as such, keeps r.a.a.m itself have
getting too chaotic.
NOTES
~~~~~
When known, a short description of what is on-topic for the group is listed with
the group.
Unless otherwise specified, the working language of all these newsgroups is
English.
When known, a pointer to the group's FAQ(s) is given.
"Status Unknown" means it should exist on some news servers but, it is not on
any of mine.
THE LIST
~~~~~~~
The "Big-8" Groups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are the groups that are carried on nearly all Usenet servers. If you want
your message to get the widest possible distribution, this is where to post.

8 newsgroups listed in the section above are official and widely carried.]

Historical Note
~~~~~~~~~~
In the fall of 1998, one or more individuals repeatedly attempted to impersonate
David C Lawrence of isc.org, also known as tale of uunet.uu.net, who was the
controller of the "Big 8" newsgroup hierarchies at the time.
Their affect on the anime related newsgroups included both attempted
de-moderating r.a.a.c and r.a.a.i, and recreating/cloning the r.a.a.*
sub-hierarchy into news.admin.arts.anime.*, news.groups.arts.anime.*, and
news.misc.arts.anime.* sub-hierarchies.
The repeated attempts to de-moderate r.a.a.c and r.a.a.i either failed or was
undone by the real David C Lawrence.
The news.* anime newsgroups still exist on some news servers that reject all
remove group messages, including official "Big 8" ones. All of these news.*
anime newsgroups are empty and unused.
More details on the history of the rec.arts.anime.* hierarchy and other early
anime newsgroups can be found at:
