17. Post Dragonball(Z) and Sailormoon in their own groups, not in aba/abma

Dragonball and Sailormoon have their own active binary groups. As such and by long time group usage, they are generally considered off-topic (not to be posted) in aba & abma. Instead use: 

alt.binaries.multimedia.sailor-moon
alt.binaries.dragonball

Just a note here on the context in which these two animes have been singled out -- alt.binaries.multimedia.sailor-moon actually pre-dates both aba and abma. At that time anime was generally posted to abm and the sailor-moon subgroup was very active. Thus, even at their start SM was rarely posted to aba/abma and it never really has been since.

abd was created as a result of the most torturous flame war aba/abma have had -- eventually the DB/Z fans basically wanted out and the feeling was pretty mutual from general aba/abma users.
