Did this group ever come up with any geek code? If not, should we make
one? After all, we have a FAQ (kinda, somewhere...) and we should,
IMO, have Geek Block code as other groups have...

Well why not? Its a community thing. Community things are good, right?
This NGs gone downhill of late, cause we aint a community anymore. We
don't have the roles (OK, so they were taken with a large pinch of
salt) anymore, and we, as a group, just don't care.
I want to see a return to the AGGTA of old, and the AGGTA where
everyone got on with everyone, cos this AGGTA is crap.

I dunno... there don't seem to be any newbies to insult... or am I just not noticing
them!

maybe we should start a flame war? they are always good for developing a team
spirit!

Ok. Heres a brief rundown...

Its a code - specific to an individual newsgroup which lies in in
peoples sigs.
Generally, it looks like this :

:--
:William Millinship yadda yadda tagline
:AGGTA Geek Block Code AO B1 QZ2 Y2 IN etc...

AO? B1? What the hell am I on about, most of you *will* now be
wondering (assuming I'm not in anyones killfile or anything)

The individual codes are made up from answers to questions related to
the ng.

For instance:

A - What is your AGGTA status
AR = AGGTA Reg
AN = AGGTA Newbie
AC = AGGTA Citizen
AB = AGGTA Bod
AO = AGGTA other

A1 - How often to you post in AGGTA

A1F = Frequently
A1Rg = Regulatly
A1M = Moderatly
A1O = Occasionally
A1Rm = "Remember Me?"

And so on.

I proposed AGGTA makes one - sadly, the silence was deafening. Aye,
thank yew.
