Rec.arts.drwho

rec.arts.drwho, also known as RADW, is a newsgroup devoted to Doctor Who.

Formed in the late 1980s as a successor to net.tv.drwho, rec.arts.drwho was the primary place for the online discussion of Doctor Who. Usenet use generally declined in the early 2000s as Internet users gravitated toward other forms of discussion, including web-based forums and social networks, although rec.arts.drwho remains in existence.

Prominent individuals behind the scenes of Doctor Who have posted to rec.arts.drwho. Paul Cornell, Lawrence Miles, David A. McIntee, Craig Hinton, Gary Russell, Jonathan Blum, Kate Orman, and Steven Moffat have been among the newsgroup's users over the years.
