Any tips on requesting a group from your ISP? I have Time Warner's Road Runner service and they don't carry alt.b.g.wii. I've done a lot of googling and searching on rr.com's help site but I haven't found a form for requesting new groups yet.
Thanks,

As far as I know, you can't request new groups. Every provider has a "Popularity" limit that must be reached before they index the group. a.b.g.wii may not have reached that number yet, thus it's not possible to use your ISP's news server to get the files you want.

Awesome, this implies that I should start spamming to a.b.g.wii thru some free service just to increase the popularity index? Hahahha. I'm such a douche, at least the point of NBZ files ignores spam.

I promise not to spam a.b.g.wii. :ph34r:
