G'day Josh,
Last I heard the vectorlist had 200 or so participants. According to the
old USENET rules of thumb that I remember, this is almost critical mass for
creating a newsgroup.
One question though...how are you going to handle commerce (especially
non-vector)? Right now vectorlist has a benevolent dictator. USENET
newsgroup don't unless you start out with a moderator.

ps - I'd guess the commerce-oriented posters (ie. dealers who blast any and
all newsgroups without regard to complaints) would overwhelm RGVACV in time,
but now I'm speculating.

Just an idea I wanted to toss up -- feel free to shoot it down:
Having recently started my new job at another telco, and having been put
in charge of, among other things, the usenet newsgroup feeders, a question
popped into my mind. Would anyone find value in a vector newsgroup, ala
"rec.games.video.arcade.collecting.vector"? Or is this useless / dead /
blasphemy / less intimate / etc?
