BLUDHAVEN was a mailing list in Batman fandom, focused on the character of Dick Grayson. It had 2107 members. It was extremely active in the 2000s and still operates as of 2024, having been relocated following the Yahoo Groups Content Purge of 2019 to Groups.io[1]. As of November 2024, the list has 1,154 members, with the COVID pandemic creating something of a revival.
Its sister list was Bludhaven Chronicle.

Relocation to GroupsIO
In December 2019, the BLUDHAVEN list was relocated to GroupsIO following news that Yahoo!Groups was being discontinued and content purged. It was a large operation, given that the list's fanfic archive also needed to be updated to replace defunct URLs. Char Edwards was responsible for the relocation, while Kathy Brignole undertook the library restoration.
...It's like the crisis wave rode through and wiped out the earth our little city sat in originally. Thankfully we wree [sic] able to relocate to a new non yahoo earth and Bludhaven continues on :)"Crisis on Infinite Yahoo Earths" posted by Char Edwards, December 14, 2019
The "Nice" Mailing List
BLUDHAVEN had - and has - a reputation of being relatively drama-free and friendly to newcomers:
Welcome to Bludhaven - you're among virtual friends and fans.I really can't give much advice other than enjoy the company. We enjoy fanfiction. We love to talk about Dick Grayson / Robin / Nightwing. We vent about stuff when things about Richard Grayson are being strewn about by DC (let's not start with Ric Grayson...or maybe I just did because I'm giving an example here). Every now and then, one of our members pose a "fic challenge" to make things fun.
So I hope that you enjoy our little community. Come visit Mabel's... the virtual diner that's more familiar to the others but provides much chuckles from me when I read about what Mabel and her diner's up to...lol.."Re: New to the group" by PJ Zatken, posted May 13, 2020
