Welcome to alt.tv.red-dwarf is archived online. If you want to check for the latest version then look online: |http://home.interpath.net/pat/rd/faq.html |or if the above hasn't been updated for a while, try http://www.faqs.org/faqs/tv/red-dwarf/welcometo/ You can get the *very* latest version in HTML format (who did that?) here - useful for websites etc. Other links are listed below which also contain versions of this. SmegWeb ATVRD carries the latest plain text version. 1 alt.tv.red-dwarf Live! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The a.tv.r-d'ers invaded IRC some time ago, and regular get-togethers used to take place on Sunday nights around 20:30, UK time. This is still a peak time, but there is nearly always someone on at any time. Although #starbug started out as a newsgroup channel, it has grown to be more than that, with some regular people that have not even heard of alt.tv.red-dwarf. It has it's own webpage at: http://www.lunarcity7.cx/~starbug/ It's worth noting that what used to be EFNet has now split into two separate networks, IRCnet and EFnet. Check which network your server will connect you to! For the temporally challenged =), here's a little table. Continent : North America : Europe : Australia ----------:-----------------------:------------------:---------------- Time code : PST EST : GMT CET : WST EST Example : Los Angeles New York : London Paris : Perth Sydney Time* : 12:30 15:30 : 20:30 21:30 : 05:30 07:30 From GMT : -8hrs -5hrs : --- +1hr : +9hrs +11hrs * Times may be wrong, but, well... they're close, okay? Mail Tafka =) For lots of spiffy information on accessing and using IRC, look out for the fabby FAQs posted in the "alt.irc" newsgroup, or hop on the Web at "http://urth.acsu.buffalo.edu/irc/WWW/ircdocs.html" For some information about EFNet (the IRC network that #starbug is on) and some server information look here: "http://www.efnet.org" 2 alt.tv.red-dwarf on the Worldwide Web ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We do have a *small* physical presence. The only problem is that its always shifting around a lot. In the mean time here is some music: The UNofficial ATVRD pages: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~gimbal/index.html Containing lots of RD documents and pictures of posters SmegWeb's ATVRD section http://www.smegweb.co.uk/atvrd/ A listing of atvrders pages can be found here: http://members.wbs.net/homepages/m/a/m/mamit/index.html 3 Post Of The Month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something which you may not be aware of is the monthly awards ceremony that goes on peacefully in darkened corners of the group. If you see a post that particularly tickles your fancy, either for comedic value, information content, or sheer hard work =), why not nominate it as Post Of The Month? It's easy; just forward the post by email to Starbugaboo at: starbugaboo@yahoo.com Lee (Epideme) retired recently after running Post of the Month for the past year and a bit. Big thanks go out to Lee! ...you don't even have to say *why* you're nominating, though it might help Starbugaboo to tell her in the Subject line why you're sending her email... =) At the end of each month, Starbugaboo will re-post all the nominations she has received, giving each a number. Mail her again, telling her which number post you think is best. The votes are tallied, and the winning post and the runners-up receive immortality on the newsgroup webpages! Yay! As there are no official webpages at the moment and none that carry results Lee has a full listing on his web page of past results: http://www.zipworld.com.au/~epideme/potm/ 4 alt.tv.red-dwarf UK meets ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There is a meets list for people who wish to get together. To subscribe visit the groups homepage at http://www.egroups.com/group/atvrdmeets/info.html or e-mail Tafka (atvrdmeets@smegweb.co.uk) and ask to be added. There is also an online archive of messages so you can 'get the feel' before subscribing. Look at the webpage for lots of options. This has replaced the old atvrd@egroups.com service and the newer ukrdmeets@onelist.com service. 5 The Birthday List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tafka, myself, maintains a list of atvrder's birthdays. Posted monthly it is used for reference and vanity. To get in the list with your own entry then just e-mail Tafka (birthdays@smegweb.co.uk) and then copy and paste the below, changed with your own info: Name E-Mail Address DD MM YY IRC Nick Bazza baz@bazza.demon.co.uk 29 09 70 BazB 6 alt.tv.red-dwarf News - Answers to Questions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Posted twice monthly or when updated, atvrd News is maintained by Tafka on behalf of atvrd and SmegWeb. Containing all the latest news and information it aims to inform even the most informed. It's archived online (see above). If you know anything e-mail Tafka (news@smegweb.co.uk). Thanks, and see you in the drive room... The boys and girls from the Dwarf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -Tafka- User Contributions:
