Short-hand for rec.arts.sf.fandom, the Usenet news group that, for its time, was probably the closest net equivalent to general fandom. A lot of fanzine and convention fans tended to hang out there.
The group was very important in the 1990s, and could have been said to have been a focal point of fandom during that decade. Changing technologies, the appearance of new social media, and greatly increased interpersonal friction over politics, post-9/11, contributed to participant attrition so that by the mid 2000s, many of the fans had migrated largely to Live Journal, personal blogs, and other newer channels.
