I've been member for quite a time but still don't know the exact meaning
of rec.sport.unicycling.
Can anyone please put some light in my darkness!
Thanks in advance

Its mainly where you would ask question that are unicycle related, new
tricks, new equpment, also unicycle vids get posted here. People write
up their unicycling stories here. Meetings are in here, creating clubs,
unicycling games.

If it has to do with unicycles and the sport, it goes here pretty much,
Just conversation is for everything else, like talking about who won
last nights game, what everyones favourite color, ect.

Thats pretty much how it works.

here is how all newsgroups work. First you have your highest level. In
this case, it is recreation (REC). From there you have sub groups, in
this case, sport and then sub sub groups, in this case unicycling. Here
is another example: comp.sys.mac.apps.

I prefer to say that rec.sport.unicycling -was- a newsgroup, with this
forum setup as a convenient web mirror.

Nowadays, since 99.99999% of people seem to use the forum at least to
post messages, I think it's safe to say it is now a web forum in it's
own right, with the rec.sport.unicycling newsgroup merely mirroring
that.

Does anyone still use USENET?

The unicycling discussion forum has evolved over the years. It started
as a mailing list. Then a Usenet newsgroup (rec.sport.unicycling) was
created. The mailing list and newsgroup were tied together through a
gateway so that posts to the mailing list would be forwarded to the
newsgroup, and vice versa. Then Gilby added the web based forum at
unicyclist.com. The rec.sport.unicycling forum here ties in with the
Usenet rec.sport.unicycling group. Messages posted at Unicyclist.com
get forwarded to the Usenet newsgroup and also to the mailing list, and
vice versa. People still read and post to the Usenet newsgroup, but it
happens that 99% of the posts now are from the Unicyclist.com forum.

A basic description of newsgroups is 'here'
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroup) (Wikipedia). Newsgroup names
are hierarchical, so the name rec.sport.unicycling means that the
newsgroup is in the main REC (for recreation) group, further divided
into the SPORT hierarchy, and finally UNICYCLING.

So there you have it. We're still posting to Usenet here at
Unicyclist.com even though it doesn't look like it.

Gilby did not create rec.sport.unicycling, or the mailing list that
came before that. But he did create the Unicyclist.com community, and
all the other forums besides rec.sport.unicycling.

Also he did not create unicycling.org, but its original creator, Beirne
Konarski (who also did not create the newsgroup/mailing list) turned it
over to him some years ago.

Well you did ask for the -exact- meaning of rec.sport.unicycling
Learning a little history about the community is a good thing.
