Back in April, a friend and I found an unmoderated ng which seemed to have
been abandoned. We posted "Is anyone home" and got no response (other than a
troll). I searched and found no posts at all had been submitted since
February. And I found no FAQ either at the ng, nor at news.answers or
alt.answers going back to about November (it may be longer than that-that's
only as far as I searched). Nine days later I posted a FAQ for the ng, and
got no response (other than the same troll who posted plenty of expletives,
but nothing stating that the ng was in use).
For two months, it's been only my friend and me at this ng (and a little
spam). Even the troll never returned. I've built a supporting website and
submitted it to search engines. However, I have not yet submitted the faq to
news.answers because I wanted to revise it first.
Yesterday, a girl I've never heard of before posted:
> Consider your attempted coup of this newsgroup a
> failed one. Your 2 month lease of this newsgroup is
> officially over. Good luck shopping for new real estate.
> Bye-Bye.
and
> In light of the recent attempted coup, i am now the
> self-appointed FAQ maintainer.
followed by *her* FAQ "for the ng", which contradicts the one I posted in
April (it specifically bans the use I've made of the ng- a RPG). Her FAQ, as
far as I can tell, has never been submitted to news.answers. She said she
copy-and-pasted it from an old one. Two other people I've never heard of
before posted, one in her support, one in mine.
Any ideas? How should I respond to her challenge (if at all)? If I were to
move to another dead ng, this is just going to happen again. Has anyone else
been through something similar?
TIA (and thanx for taking the time to read all this :)
