A virtual club is defined as a group of people sharing a common interest who are part of an organization that is based on a computer network.

Related QuestionsIs there a difference between the plain Ultima Dragons and Ultima Dragons - Internet Chapter (UDIC)?
Ultima Dragons -- Frequently Asked QuestionsYes and no. "Ultima Dragons" alone refers to the entire club, both past and present, and everything related to it. "Ultima Dragons - Internet Chapter" refers specifically to the club that exists on the Internet, but since there really isn't an Ultima Dragons - Prodigy Chapter (so to speak) any more, the plain "Ultima Dragons" is usually used to refer to both. Also correct is the abbreviation UDIC, which stands for the longer name.
