FAQ Item 0.7 - What Doctor Who newsgroups are there?
There are currently five Doctor Who USENET newsgroups. The primary one is
rec.arts.drwho, where all general discussion and such takes place.
Another newsgroup is alt.drwho.creative, which is exclusively for the
posting of Doctor Who fan fiction.
Most recently, the information group, rec.arts.drwho.info, was created.
This group deals with information about the show, as well as the people
in it, conventions, news items, etc. Since it is a moderated group,
posts will not appear immediately, but are checked for relevancy
before being posted.
There is also a alt.binaries.drwho group, though it is not available
on all systems.
For people who can get the uk. newsgroups (mainly the people in the UK)
there is also uk.media.tv.sf.drwho.
==========================================================================
FAQ Item 0.8 - What about Doctor Who IRC groups?
Check the postings in the newgroup (rec.arts.drwho) for IRC information -
there are some fairly frequent discussions. Generally people tend to meet
at 4 PM EST daily at #doctorwho, as well as Fridays at 10 PM EST, but
anytime at all is also fine. Another irc group is #drwho, which meet on
DALnet (10 pm EST). Go to which ever trips your trigger.
Also check the #drwho channels on Icenet and Newnet.
