The group I requested it in is moderated, and has not been replied to. This is how newsgroups are requested. When the need arises for a new newsgroup, somebody will post an article to news.announce.newgroups proposing the creation of the group. This type of proposal is called an RFD ("request for discussion"). Once the RFD is posted, discussion begins in news.groups.proposals. http://www.harley.com/usenet/usenet-tutorial/how-are-newsgroups-created.html
