The Dead Runners Society (DRS) is a worldwide online running club. DRS is notable for its unusual role in the development of both the Internet and the sport of running. Founded by Chris Conn in 1991 as an electronic mailing list, DRS pre-dates widespread use of the World Wide Web. It is an early example of a virtual community formed around a non-professional topic. Many early DRS members were computer professionals, librarians, academics and researchers. Membership broadened with the growing use of email in the mid-1990s. Annual World Conferences have been held since 1993. ==Other DRS lists== The original DRS group, known as "the big list," now has about 1,700 members. Over the years, more than 20 sublists have been formed. Some deads subscribe to one (or more) of the sublists but are not subscribed to the big list or have set NOMAIL option on the big list. Sublists have a geographic or thematic focus. * An example of a geographic group is the SOBER Deads (Southern Ontario and Buffalo Expired Runners).〔(DRS sublists )〕 * An example of a thematic group is TRI-DRS.〔(TRI-DRS, triathlon sublist of DRA )〕 for dead runners who are interested in triathlons, duathlons, and other multi-sport events.〔 It was founded by Loreen Kail. * DRS-readers and DRS-mind are examples of thematic groups for discussions. Three Dead Runners Society groups also operate on the facebook social networking website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dead Runners Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
