I’m sorry, I hate being “that” person but how is information from an a self-published Big Finish magazine considered obscure? I thought the point of this thread was to collect all non-sanctioned Big Finish information, not information from their official monthly promotional magazine. Ah but as mentioned Up Thread Regarding Dalek Empire there are some that don't read the VORTEX Thread this way everyone should be covered.

The why do we have a Vortex thread and a updates thread? The thing which used to make this thread different was that it captured & collected non-Big Finish sanctioned tidbits, rumors or gossip in one place. Like the Tom Baker/Jon Culshaw mention up thread. Including BF promotional material just seems to make this thread interchangeable with any of the other news threads we have.

Personally I'm actually fine if this becomes the "Catch-All News" thread, covering obscure stuff, Podcast hints and DWM/Vortex hints.

What with the BF website’s news section becoming kind of useless on the new site, I’ve kind of been thinking of how we might best be able to amalgamate this and the updates thread. I’ve been coming empty though...

I’ve been coming empty though... Do a Official Big Finish News Update thread that incorporates news from the web site, Vortex, Doctor Who Magazine and officially sanctioned social media platforms and do a Unofficial Big Finish News Update thread that is comprised of actor chatter, rumors and gossip. Maybe pin them both so anyone looking for the latest news or rumors knows exactly where to click.

He has a point, it isn't obscure, it is BF released news - if people choose not to follow a thread that is their choice. This makes me question the need for a Vortex thread if it isn't being used in a logical manner.

Keeping a separate Vortex tread gives Kenny's posts over there a longer shelf life and it's nice of him to drop in on us to make them. Don't think I'm confused by news appearing in several different places so I can certainly live with things as they are.

Don't think I'm confused by news appearing in several different places so I can certainly live with things as they are. Surely a better tribute to Kenny would be for all the posters who aren't doing so to read his work that, after all, we get for free? Rather than those who only want a summary of the juicy bits of his words that tease upcoming releases? I think Audio and Colin make the point well - if people are choosing to not read a thread, or Vortex, then it's their issue. I think Audio's idea of two main sticky threads - Big Finish News and Big Finish Rumours essentially - is by far the most logical answer. And then since Vortex is Big Finish News, news from it would no doubt be posted in due course anyway. I really see no way that's not a much tidier way of doing things.

We can have two main threads, but they are refreshed often enough that there is no reason at all to sticky them. They are usually pretty close to the top of the front page of this board.

The main reason I suggest pinning them is for new users and with the unofficial news thread, it won’t be updated as often.

I wonder if this is a not so subtle hint?
