They've soured a decent Review Site (**********) by casting shade on this one
That's a shame

Well. That got shrill, strident & unhinged rather quickly.
It is always amazing to me though how many people cry "censorship!!!!" without really understanding censorship.
Anyway. This place, while imperfect, is a friendly and easy going home.

Thanks for the laugh, Karl. We needed some comic relief.

I'm sure Kamelion will be pleased to know that the Subscriber Short Trip has now been released for download (from the website at least, doesn't appear to be showing in the app yet). Should save them a call to the BBC anyway.

It's on the app now. All the fuss and bother or writing the post about how terrible it is that a freebie wasn't instantly there, their bp could of been saved by a little patience.
This is an odd post to return with isn't it.

From memory they're never released exactly with the MR title? They always/usually lag a couple of days to a week behind? I think the longest once was three weeks?
On a SST related note I see this and the next are read by John Banks for the first time in many years. I wonder if this is related to the fact that Stephen Critchlow had a heart attack earlier this year? Hope Critchlow is well in any case as I always enjoy his performances of all the Doctors and his easy-on-the-ear narration style (not that I have a problem with Banks either).

From where I'm standing their just trying to find anything they can to grab casual fans attention. Even if its palpable lies.

The extras on the Main Range releases are almost never released on the same day as the actual Main Range story is released. Look at any old Main Range thread in the Big Finish Doctor Who board and you'll often see a post partway into the thread that the subscriber short trip and other extras are now available for download - generally after the Main Range story has been released.

More Outpost Gallifrey news: Big Finish - Missing Bonus www.outpostgallifrey.com/Monthly Release shows up early, missing Subscriber Bonus, Yet Again... Chicago - September 8th, 2020 Reporter : Rocco Big Finish has released one of their final Doctor Who Monthly pairs of stories today with #268A - The Flying Dutchman and #268B - Displaced. Both stories star Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace and Philip Oliver as Hex. The release came as a surprise to subscribers as Big Finish had been running towards late monthly releases so this was not expected until the final days of September. However, once again, Big Finish failed to release the advertised 'Subscriber Bonus' which was promised to be included. That story titled 'The Beast of Muir' was not included with the release as advertised on the Big Finish website here: www.bigfinish.com/pages/v/doctor-who---subscriber-short-tripsThe Big Finish website offers no explanation nor apology as to the missing story that was promised to subscribers that paid in advance. For now all we can do is wonder, 'Where's the Beast?' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OutpostGallifrey.ComThe free/bonus/gift is now available for download a day after the title was released. Now would you please apologize for your shrill overreaction?

I didn't know that Critchlow had a heart attack! Hope he makes a full recovery and is back behind the microphone soon - he's a lovely reader and one of Big Finish's MVPs.

Kamelion seems to have disappeared after delivering his incoherent rants, I really do fear for the**********.com with him in charge.
I never saw anything on there other than reviews under the previous chap, imperialheathen (which, you've got to say, is great webmastering), but now this clown is in charge he has been replying to his own posts under different pseudonyms, ranting about this place and also incurred the wrath of a fair few regular posters, who have told him what they think and how unimpressed they are about the opinions and falsehoods he has spouted about.
A bad move to politicise a nice review forum, I hope he doesn't ruin it.

And you know what is sweet? The********** saved ALL of those posts. Yep. Divergent Universe can act all neutral as they want, but we have all of the posts. And you deleted the ones that were not positive. If you're talking about the posts that show up under "deleted user" then they haven't been censored, the user just deleted their own account but their posts are still available. If you're talking about some other posts that no longer show up then show them. If you have proof that what you say is true, like you claim, then just show it. It'd save a lot of hassle for everyone.

Ela, Outpost Gallifrey is not a Blog, Review Site or Podcast. It is a News site. Please do not move posts to the wrong category, thank you. Kamelion You want to talk about false advertising? I just went to this so-called Outpost Gallifrey news site and saw the top 4 posts all editorial in style with personal opinions being expressed - the very definition of a blog. Editorial Stance - comments about how you feel wronged by various other websites and companies Big Finish & False advertising again - a ridiculous rant about something which simply isn't true - I wonder how far you got with gathering people's credit card details the last time you went on this nonsensical parade. Surprise Early Release of the annual - the closest to a news article, which nevertheless also includes a thinly veiled attack on people who didn't believe you when you said it had been released. Chris Walker Thomson - the Missing Adventures - comments about fan audios packed full of your personal opinion. Your writing is not styled as news. It is styled as a blog. Stop your nonsense - it's tiresome, immature and thoroughly pointless.

I say we just leave Kamelion to shout his nonsense into the void. He’s only making a fool of himself after all and we’re far better than that.

Actually it was a stroke rather than heart attack but I remembered he made a podcast about his experience so is hopefully on the mend;

For all the talk of censorship, it appears he has deleted his posts from yesterday on **** ******, along with the numerous negative reactions and criticism he received from reviewer members on that site.
Edit: And Outpost Gallifrey has been 'cleansed' of all negative/personal agenda blog posts.
