I think simplifying the structure and a bit of artwork are as important as the name for now. We could call it K9's Kennel, but that doesn't have any particular Big Finish connotation. It's a challenge - I called my blog Red Rocket Rising specifically as I started with the Lucie Miller stories, and I got permission from Big Finish to use the name. Decisions, decisions! What about playing around with the e-Space idea, although F-Space might have the wrong connotation I suppose.

I also don't really care for Divergent Universe either - while it is clever and fairly appropriate for the situation, it references a rather disappointing BF series, and it also has the connotation of splitting off from something. I'd rather it be a continuation of what we had before, just in a new location. I don't even know if we need to go as far as NOT (theBigFinishForum) - something like "The New Big Finish Discussion Forum" would have been fine for me.

I've had a further look round the options on pro boards and there is a lot of granularity possible with user roles. It would be fairly easy to make an admin role that could or couldn't moderate, could add categories, rename them and tweak the style but without giving them all the keys to the kingdom. This might be a useful way of getting more involvement in setting up the look and feel (if we stay here).

What about Big Finish Forum - The Next Generation?! I'm wondering about using the Big Finish name in an unofficial forum, though. Would that be okay with them? We should really check.

I understand that, but I would imagine the stink that would arise from suing their own fans would make any enforcement cost more than it's worth. But Meh, Im not that fussed really, just not feeling good will towards BF at the moment, and not really caring what they want.

I am not happy with the way they shut down the forum, either. It was very sudden and made it harder for us to regroup elsewhere.

As to the question the MOD posted, I would be hesitant to make everyone who shows up a moderator specifically because that would mean that if any rabble-rousers or true internet trolls show up, those persons could use moderator powers to remove posts to "punish" people they want to go after.

Thanks for sharing MOD rights out Admin/Davros, it should help the group enormously. I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of responsibility tho', so feel free to move me back to "happy fan" mode . Once again from us all, thanks for setting this board up and allowing the BF family to be together again . Cheers Tony
