Top 10 Silly Usenet Newsgroup Names
Description: If you log into usenet you can probably get a pretty silly list
of of names of alt.* groups. Let's see if we can get a really silly list.
Despite what some people have sent in, I'm looking for Usenet names, not
website names. So www.hukedonfoniks.com doesn't work, but
soc.impediments.speech.huked-on-fonix is fair game.
Guidelines:
- You may have more than one name per entry, but they must be in a
heirchy. (Incidentally, a heirchy will count as one group name)
- No names of existing newsgroups (even if you just drop the alt.)
- E-mail entries to webcomment2020@trevorstone.org with
the subject of Contest: Usenet
