I've been making threads for the audio originals and radio plays and just noticed that they'd been moved into the "Other BBC Audios" subforum. Which is a little disheartening, as I was hoping to talk about Torchwood int he Torchwood forum :/
That's basically how the Dark Shadows and Blake's 7 sections work, being all encompassing communities for their series, with discussions about the original shows, books, comics, and other non-BF audios, so I guess I'd just like some clarification on the issue.

This Torchwood board is primarily for Big Finish releases and while it is true about Dark Shadows and Blake's 7, non Big Finish related Doctor Who does not sit under the BF Doctor Who section. The original reasoning was that we didn't want to "clutter" up BF threads with non BF releases and it could also cause confusion among members as to whether something was a BF release or not.
However, I can see the merit of having the BBC releases in the same area but if this is to be done it needs planning and be organised properly. I will put it to the other Mods and see what the general consensus is.
Cheers
Tony

Cheers Tony There's less than 10 other TW audios Tony - not sure that would clutter terribly much especially since the BF releases are still relatively few in number. Doctor Who being so vast with numerous threads daily, absolutely makes sense to separate BF and the TV/other audios but the Torchwood subforum is only two pages. I think Srandoms point about DS and B7 makes perfect sense - they're one stop hubs for their shows' discussion in all media.

Hey guys, we are discussing this and will definitely take your comments into consideration. I've been away from the Internet most of the day so apologies there's been no updates so far.
Cheers
Tony

*** Moderation ***
We have discussed, listened and have agreed to allow the BBC Torchwood Audios to reside in the BF Torchwood board. For the moment we are not separating them into a sub board, but will consider this depending on how busy this board gets with non BF stuff.
Regards
The Mod Team

Thank you much! I think, with the continuing Torchwood releases from BF and basically nowhere else aside from the comic (which ostensibly dovetails with BF's stuff), that once my initial wave of posts is finished, there won't really be anything cluttering up the board aside from new BF-related topics.

There's the novels. I really wouldn't bother with the Titan Comics stuff though, it follows the team assembled in Exodus Code, which wasn't mentioned at all until the Previously On in issue #1.1. And no mention of the Big Finish stuff at all in seven issues, even though the Committee were mentioned in the solicit for one of them.

I've actually just been making the threads as I get to each set of releases in my listenthrough at work >___>

I don't object to the threads per se, but you're bumping all the Big Finish stuff off the first page.

Apologies. For what it's worth, I'm also going to be marathoning all the BF releases once I get through the last few BBC ones, so those will all be getting a bump in turn.
