As a regular user of the **** ******, can I just say an enormous thank you for all the effort that has been put in over the years and I look forward to hopefully seeing the site revived in some form in the future.

I really appreciate all the kind words from everyone. This is the most feedback I’ve ever received in the eight years of the website. I honestly didn’t realize how many people viewed the website.
I still have not taken the website down. I may extend the end date a little longer. One small news update I have is that the database for the new website has been designed.

The 2 Star Trek: Prometheus audiobooks are the latest stories to be added. Yes the website never shutdown partially because of the Star Trek announcement on the anniversary. I’ve been looking for an excuse to add Star Trek for a long time. Also the website has received donations from a few generous folks that should keep it up and running while the new website in being built. Story updates will be slow while the new site is under construction.

Once I am a bit more solvent*, I will too. When I'm bored it is my go-to website to have a good read, most recently all of the Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People reviews. #savethe**********.org *anywhere between a month from now or 3 years

I hesitate to post this, and won't complain if it gets deleted. I just wanted to say (in a forum where I could be responded to) that if a reviewer is prepared to publicly name BF writers and say "it is painfully clear after dozens of releases they lack the intelligence and writing skills to produce anything in a meaningful form" then that reviewer really shouldn't complain about "thumbs down" reactions.
Just saying. I'm moving on now.

Yes. I found that particular reviewer's willingness to project beliefs and intentions onto authors and production teams disappointing and distasteful, but I think ultimately their words reveal far more about them than the plays they're attempting to engage with.

Not liking the story and providing constructive feedback is fine and great but attacking the creative team behind it might be a step too far.

Hey this is just a suggestion for a possible expansion and you don’t have to do this but maybe add places to review the tv shows/books that certain big finish properties are based on? The idea just came to me and you don’t have to pay attention if you don’t want, it’s your website after all.

The idea just came to me and you don’t have to pay attention if you don’t want, it’s your website after all. The website rewrite is full steam ahead right now. I’m trying very hard to complete it before Jodie Whittaker graces our screens. Once the rewrite is complete you will see many more features coming as it will be much easier to add new features. Once the update is complete I will keep an eye out for feature requests. Related stories will be a future feature update.

Seasonal playlists have been added to the front page with filtering by Big Finish / Doctor Who. If anyone has more recommendations for seasonal stories, feedback is welcome.

Performance updates have been applied to the website. Hopefully better performance is noticeable.
The Doctor Who and Non-Doctor Who story browsers on the front page have been replaced by a single story browser with Big Finish/Doctor Who filtering which defaults to Big Finish stories.
The website rewrite will not be ready in time for the arrival of the 13th Doctor but minor improvements will ported here and there. As always feedback is welcome.

The website rewrite is getting closer to release. Let's call this release v10 and here's what to expect.
v10.0 Features: -Feature parity with current website. Not much will change as far as appearance. -"The Listeners": Big Finish recommendations will be listed on the front page. -"Latest Podcasts": A small selection of podcasts will be followed and the recent episodes will be listed on the front page.
v10.1 Features: -The review browsers will incorporate filtering by Big Finish/Doctor Who/Reviewer. -All browser filter options will be saved to your user account so next time you come back it will remember your filters for each page.
v10.2 Features: -User Playlists: Create lists of stories ("What to listen to next", "Future reviews", "Stories to buy", etc). -Make your playlist public for all to see on the new playlist page. -Like your favorite user playlists. Liked playlists will make up the "Popular Playlists" listing. -Add playlists links into your reviews along with the current "Other Recommendations".
v10.3 Features: -Expand stories to include media type (Audiobook, Video, Novel, etc). This will allow submitting ratings separately for each media type and reduce duplication of stories on the website.
v10.4 Features (possibly): -Light and dark website themes.
There will be many more features coming, but we will leave off with this list first.

New updates were inadvertently deployed to the current website. So "The Listeners" listing is now up. Also the recent ratings has been consolidated into a single view for all recent Big Finish ratings.

I want to talk about this one reviewer who reviewed series 11 so far with Freudian symbolism, which I find hilarious as Freud was a fraud.
