***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Emilie: I suspect that if you look at Usenet newsgroup data that you'll find quite a lot of examples of this sort of thing. A specific variation on this that I've seen twice involves, after a series of acrimonious arguments, a new group being formed from a small subset of the members of the old group, such that only a small fraction of the old group is informed of the existence of the new. (To make it more interesting, in one of these cases the group subset actually appropriated a newsgroup for a completely unrelated topic that hadn't attracted any traffic in a while, rather than creating a new one. :) ) Joshua O'Madadhain On 4 Nov 2005, at 1:15, Emilie MARQUOIS-OGEZ wrote: > ***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** > > Hello everyone, > > I'm looking for examples of virtual communities that gave bearth to > other virtual communities.
