What the title says. I am just wondering why this groups was created.
It seems rather superfluous. But well, it's alt., so I guess someone
might have thought it was a good idea.

This one was created to talk about AD&D in general, there are some more
specific ones like alt.games.* which are more about the specific AD&D world.

Sadly most of these usergroups are dead or become google.groups spam
filled, not all provides do supply them all of them.

huh, really? I only saw alt.games.adnd.forgotten-realms, but that makes
a lot of sense actually. Maybe my server is just not carrying them.

Mine don't have forgotten-realms only alt.games.adnd and sk.talk.adnd
and both of them are quite dead, sk.talk.adnd seems just be spam based
on what I saw from google groups last scrape.

well, the spam just gets sent in there from Google Groups indiscriminately.

At least they shut down posting from google groups, so the spam should
be less here.
