Still trying to get Aussie Doctor Who fan to join, don't know why he so reluctant?, then again he's got his hands full being a dad now so won't have a lot of free time. Yeah, I still miss him.

I joined about a month ago, and I think I found the forums because I'd been searching for something Big Finish-related (having recently become a fan of Big Finish) and some forum thread came up in the search results. I lurked for a bit, and ended up actually joining since the discussions seem generally friendly (unlike many other discussion spaces online, which I end up avoiding for fear of getting torn apart). I do hear that many online discussion forums for Doctor Who aren't very nice. It's such a shame. I joined Gallifrey Base a while ago but was so overwhelmed I didn't go back. Another reason to really cherish what we all have made over here. Thanks for you post.

GB is the Mos - Eisley of Doctor Who forums, i browsed through some threads on there to see if what people had said about the forum was true & it was.

Gallifrey Base seems to be a forum by way of H.P. Lovecraft. What I like most about the Divergent Universe is that we very nearly always remember that everyone here is a human being with both good days and bad. We can have dissenting views without it ever getting heated enough for people to take it personally or for such animosity to genuinely last. It's absolutely lovely.

It's not terrible, but it does seem largely impersonal given how large it is. It's interesting for alternate points of view, and the mods are quick to deal with rude or offensive users. It's not so bad when there's no new TV episodes or big news, but best to stay away when there are because the Moffat bashers are quick to come out. You can come across some interesting stuff, like people marathoning old episodes, books and audios.

Hello, glad to be here! I've been getting more and more frustrated with the power-trip attitude that certain mods at GB feel is necessary to inject into an otherwise moderate thread derailment or disagreement. I really like what I've read about this forum's approach and hope to be able to contribute to some good conversations going forward.

Welcome on board We do intervene from time to time, but we try not to, threads can drift if they need to, and disagreements are fine so long as people stick to the rules

I met a few of the forum moderators at L.I. Who and was on an Intro to Big Finish panel! I just took the long way round to get on here. Looking forward to great discussions ahead.
