ps56k 10 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 just to let anyone know, there is another whole world out there of about 40,000 discussion groups - called newsgroups. You can see some of the activity by searching Google "Groups". There are several newsgroups for Scouting, such as - http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&group=rec.scouting.usa Link to post Share on other sites
cubbobwhite 10 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 rec.scouting.usa could be a useful newsgroup but after a while you get tired of all the belligerent posts and wonder if the posters are really Scouters. Link to post Share on other sites
Pureblade 10 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I find that forums are better, because there seems to be less ignorant jerks running rampant on Scouting site. Also, forums are usually moderated, and the spammers and such are banned. Link to post Share on other sites
VAordeal 10 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 With newsgroups you tend to get alot of perverts strolling into topics. I just read a rather disgusting post in the rec.scouting or w/e it is called newsgroup. There are very sick people out there. Message boards beat newsgroups hands down any day.
