The Big 8 (previously the Big 7) are a group of newsgroup hierarchies established after the Great Renaming, a restructuring of Usenet that took place in 1987. These hierarchies are managed by the Big 8 Management Board. Groups are added through a process of nomination, discussion, and voting. == History == The original seven hierarchies were comp. *, misc. *, news. *, rec. *, sci. *, soc. *, and talk. *. They were open and free for anyone to participate in (except for the moderated newsgroups), though they were subject to a few general rules governing their naming and distribution. alt. * was not part of the original seven, but created separately as a place with more freedom and fewer rules than the Big 7. In the mid-1990s, when Usenet traffic grew significantly, humanities. * was introduced, and it and the seven hierarchies created by the Renaming make up today's so-called "Big 8". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big 8 (Usenet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
