*2-2-1*: Acknowledgements
Bungie for making this great game and being such a cool company.
Omer Shenker for beginning this FAQ and passing the torch to me.
Everyone who has contributed in any way.
As much as we try to keep all information in the FAQ completely
accurate, undoubtably errors will creep in. Please correct us. We're
only human.
[3] Where can I find alt.games.myth?
If you're not familiar with newsgroups, take the time to read about
them before even
attempting to access any.
You may see the group referred to as AGM2. Many of the regulars
consider the original AGM (alt.games.m*) to be alt.games.marathon,
a group dedicated to Bungie's Marathon series. Thus, AGM2 is the
second group to bear the initials AGM.
Yes, there are other groups that have names in the form a*.g*.m*, but
we really don't care about them.
[4] What should I NOT post?
A basic understanding of Usenet culture is necessary beforehand. That
said, here are some more specific things not desired in this group:
- Binaries. You may not post any message with an attachment.
- Advocacy posts. We don't care what platform or OS you use, so if you
want to spread your views, go elsewhere.
- Flames. We don't have flamewars, and we won't tolerate trollers.
- Questions that are answered in one of the FAQs. If you haven't read
the FAQs, you'll be branded a newbie and generally ignored.
