There appears to be no New Zealand Breakers, Townsville Crocodiles, Wollongong Hawks communities on Yahoo!Groups. Thus, they do not get their own posts.
There are two groups on Yahoo dedicated to the Perth Wildcats: thewildcatsden and perthwildcatssupportersclub. Both were created in late 2000. The first has 56 but has had exclusively spam content since late April 2001. The second has three members, no real spam content and has had no new posts since April 10, 2001. Between the two, there were 26 legitimate total posts. I’m not graphing it because there really isn’t much variation and anything to suggest that for this small community ever really had a presence on the service; a one year pattern is unlikely to correlate with team performance.

I haven’t and won’t be doing a separate post for the Cairns Taipans and the Gold Coast Blaze. There are no communities dedicated to them on Yahoo!Groups.
There are two groups dedicated to the NBL team Melbourne Tigers: melbournetigers and Melb_Tigers. The first has ten members and was founded on July 4, 2001. The second has one member and was founded on July 25, 2006. Melb_Tigers has never had any activity. melbournetigers in contrast has had a total of six posts, with all posting having stopped by October 18, 2002. There really isn’t enough activity to speak to any posting trends.
melbournetigers has never had any spam posting and when you look at the membership, it looks like it has been free of spam posters joining. Only three posters have joined since that activity ended. Of those three, one is from Victoria, Australia.

Like the Adelaide 36ers, there is one group on Yahoo!Groups dedicated to the Brisbane Bullets: BrisbaneBullets. It was created on March 2, 2007 and has three members. It can be found in the Australia category. Unlike the 36ers list, this group has some posting, the first of which was made on November 4, 2008. Sadly, all this activity is spam related from two people. It looks like the founder never posted.

I’ve not been updating here much of late because of some real life issues. Fun fun. If anyone wants a copy of the data I have so far, please let me know.
That said, I searched for the Adelaide 36ers on Yahoo!Groups. There is one list dedicated to the team: 36ers. It was created on March 19, 2003. It has one member and there have never been any posts to the list. The list appears in the general basketball category.
Even with one member, the community size on Yahoo!Groups is bigger than that of the LiveJournal clones.
It will be interesting to see how the size of the community here compares to the other NBL teams.
