alt hierarchy| On Usenet, the ‘alternative’ set of newsgroups, set up so that anyone can start a newsgroup on any topic. Most areas of Usenet, such as the Big Seven hierarchies, allow the creation of newsgroups only after structured discussion and a vote to demonstrate that demand for the newsgroup exists. The alt hierarchy was created to allow users to bypass this process. |
| Many of the most active newsgroups are alt groups, such as alt.flame and alt.sex. |
