Some idiot probably started a google group, and thought it was a real 
newsgroup.

I'm curious now. How do I/you/we go about creating a new group?

Fundamentally, no matter what the hierarchy, a new group is "created" when 
someone posts a special kind of message called a newgroup control message 
that asks news server administrators everywhere to create the group locally 
on their servers. Depending on which hierarchy the control message is for, 
and on who sent the control message, and on how a particular server is 
configured, the server may do one of the following:

    * Create the group automatically
    * Forward the request to the server administrator, who then decides       
whether to create the group "by hand"
    * Ignore the request completely

Sounds good to me. It's too transient a category. Before long we'd have 
alt.games.quake5, then alt.games.quake397.... ;)

Instead, just move the discussion back to alt.games.quake, where we can 
talk about the latest episode in the series and there will be a few still 
playing the old episodes.

One might follow the lead of the EA games and create alt.games.id.quake, if 
one expects the number of titles from Id to balloon.

a.g.q and a.g.q2 would work fine I'd think.  q2 as q4 is the continuation of 
the same story.

Not that there's actually anything different about Q4 worth talking
about.

rec.games.computer.quake.* NGs... just not AGQ. LOL

I know of some that are free, and probably better than your current server. 

I know of a few that cost very little and are 100 times better than your 
current server.

you could start here: http://freenews.maxbaud.net/newspage.html?posting=1
and also check out alt.free.newsservers, but be warned it's a troll's den.
