A year already? Wow. Incidentally, my Bookmarks Bar link for this place is labeled "Not BF" Mine is Divergent Universe. Then again, I really liked that name. (I may have been one of those who suggested it.)

It's everyone else that makes it rock. ... I just needed a place to chat... You guys actually turned up! Oh and to push my podcast lol A group of us were discussing what to do on FB. We were definitely going to move to a new forum of some sort. And I guess you weren't on FB so you just created this place while we were discussing it elsewhere and started tweeting about it like crazy. And we all joined while we were discussing and voted to stay here. Thanks for trusting us inaugural mods and admins to join the staff and help get this place working so well. And thanks to all the wonderful forum members who came and participate and are making this a wonderful place to hang out on the web and discuss our favorite topic. It's worked out great so far! (I'm actually feeling a little tear-eyed myself, now. Must be the wind. )

Have to say I also brought it up on Twitter looking for people from the old forums and Big Finish and the lovely Sophie Aldred retweeted it.

I'm sorry to say I didn't see those tweets at the time. Though I'm sure every little bit helped. Some of us were busy PM'ing people on the old forum, as the PM system still worked, even though posting was closed.

(I may have been one of those who suggested it.) I really like it too, did right from the first time someone ( ) suggested it. But through a combination of laziness and space in my bookmark bar being at a premium, "Not BF" the link stays haha

I've been waiting all day to get on here at comment on this thread. I read it at work but couldn't really comment at the time. I also am so thankful to Tin Dog for starting this forum. So many of us were devastated when the BF Forum closed. I, too remember a bunch of us on Facebook talking about starting one, and then there it was. I was even more surprised when he made me a mod. I've never done this before and am anything but computer savvy, so I was nervous. I also loathe most types of censorship, so I was slow to get involved with most things. Thanks for all of your patience everyone, especially my fellow mods.(And to be honest, I feel like I'm still just finding my footing ) It's been wonderful to watch this place grow as new members, including many from the BF team, found us. I have no doubt that we will continue to grow and evolve, and all the while being the fun, friendly place that it is. I consider you all friends, and thank you for your support and friendship over the last year. Now on to more stories, debates, and events. I wish everyone a wonderful and HEALTHY year ahead.

Party at TinDog's place!! Someone bring the vinyl of Chimes, we'll listen to that, eat baked good and drink plenty of our favourite beverages. Scotch drinkers can chill with me.

Just been checking my accounts. Since the official forum closed, my spend at Big Finish has halved.
I'm assuming that's not typical though.

I've made it a habit to check the Big Finish home page every day to see what's new/what's on sale. And I check the Big Finish Updates thead at this forum daily, too, in case there's an update I missed. So my spending has been the same or more.
