Inactive group. This group of currently 36 members never had any activity until a sudden burst of postings in December and January. Created in March 2006, it had a total of 21 postings throughout 2006, and 18 postings from Jan. to Nov. 2007. We suspect it was hit by a spam attack or turned into some sort of chatsphere. Postings last month dropped back down to 10 and only 3 during the three weeks of March so far. |

Inactive, but less than a year old, so we gave it the benefit of the doubt with a “viable” rating. But it’s just another SIG zombie. |
