We do this, too, over in alt.games.final-fantasy. I don't maintain the 'Web
prescence, but I placed its URL into the FAQ. The 'Web page contains
everything you listed above, plus a ton of user signatures and other cultural
stuff. (Our signatures in alt.games.final-fantasy are one-of-a-kind that can't
be seen anywhere else on UseNet - finger my E-Mail address if you want an
example.)

The only problem with the site is that it hasn't been updated in a while, and
I don't think anyone's actively working on it. But I'll continue to place the
URL in the FAQ for the time being.
