sci.virtual-worlds.homebrew captures the essence of this list.

Or alt.cyberspace.homebrew, although, yes, lots of geek
administrators don't take alt groups.  If you promise there
will not be 5 megs of bad porno every day, you may be
able to change this.

If you think sci.v-w has fluff, go check out comp.graphics.
Sci.v-w doesn't have people posting for GIF viewers every damn day.
Moderation is a good thing, except that you can't involve
two groups in a jointly interesting topic.  

I'd like to start a conversation between sci.v-w and 
comp.simulation on the topic "how do I simulate recombinant 
objects and substances?" but I can't because they're
both moderated.

	"I have two pieces of clay.
	I slap them together and make one big piece.
	What data structures should I use?
	Are objects appropriate?"

I've been told that few people in industry post to sci.v-w 
because they don't want to leak proprietary secrets.  
The computer biggies (SUN Dec IBM etc.) are putting large
budgets behind VR groups.
