I'm always blown away by how popular this forum is After the dogs breakfast that was made of the closing of the old forum, and the fact that the mods appeared to spend more time dealing with malcontents than they should, Divergent Universe is a breath of fresh air. It's only five or six months in and there haven't been any trouble makers or Moffat bashers (as well as Chibnall bashers), touch wood, and there's not that feel that I got on the old forum at times where there was too much to keep up with. At least the Hurt and Heals haven't sprouted up here, although the growing number of "What would you like to see in [enter non-Who related thing here]?" threads aren't something I'm following. The next animated X-Men series seems a bit of a random choice. |

well its less than a month since I found you guys again & how I missed you. I do miss the odd comments from joe & ian but it's good that some of the other guys followed us like Dorney, Kris and others but everyone is so nice, I think it's because we love BF stuff and understand how hard everyone works, & understand that even if we don't like a title there is always someone who loves it. thank you again from the bottom of my heart for setting all this up, in these lonely housebound days of winter it's good to have people who like to chat about the same (can I say shit.....  ?) ermmm stuff. |

someone on the facebook group "we love the 4th doctor who" www.facebook.com/groups/325534230893502/ was asking about 4th doctor big finish (how many cd's they are, and so forth). I gave some info and also told about the Zero Room on FB and this forum. |

We also broke the most users online record in April: 88 on April 24 at 9:16 (UK time I assume)
Collective pat on back!

Nice. It's great to see this forum growing. A couple of others I've been on that used to be very active are basically dying out. (One has a handful of regular posters, the other is basically just there, except for one guy who checks in every now and then to see if anyone is there.  ) |

I'm always blown away by how popular this forum is Hello again. I'm not! This forum champions intelligent and comic debate without the venomous vitriol associated with social media. Here, all are welcome and the community that grew up on the former Big Finish forum has a new place to play without worrying about personal attack. Yes there are disagreements but they are generally dealt with by the dictat "you are entitled to your opinion, but its still wrong!" Seriously, the way members support others are also indicative that is more than a collection of fans debating the numbers of dalek exterminations in the classic series. We are a community that discusses anything and everything in the universe and the whoniverse and long may we continue to do so in our very own divergent universe... |

I like to think of this as The Official "Unofficial" Big Finish Forum. I'm happy to have helped keep the train moving in the dark post-BF forum days and even more happy that our home is such a nice place to hang out and talk geek. Thanks everyone.

I'm happy to have helped keep the train moving in the dark post-BF forum days and even more happy that our home is such a nice place to hang out and talk geek. Thanks everyone. I know people several noted, myself included that the old BF forum was far friendlier than many other Who centric forums, but I think that this forum has become especially so, I wondered what peoples thoughts on why that might have come about? My personal view is that it's a combination of the rules we created, which we really wanted to ensure were inclusive but which made people think about what they posted and how it came across, and the fact that after we were ejected from the BF website, most of us here have had and continue to have a real commitment to make this forum work. |

I think that's pretty much true, jasonward. We gathered where we could find one another at first (a core group of us were on Facebook after the forum closure). We knew we all missed the forum and wanted to start a new one because we wanted the discussions we were having on the official forum to continue. And because we are the ones here building this new forum and helping it to grow (and I mean everyone, not just the admins and moderators), we have a commitment to the forum continuing. And we have a commitment to it being a friendly and civil place where people will feel welcome and enjoy coming back to. I have to admit, I was a little surprised at myself by how much I missed the interactions with everyone when the old forum abruptly closed, to the extent that I actively looked for where people from the old forum were gathering. And I'm glad we found each other, were able to build up this place, and are continuing to grow. |

I've updated (on time for a change!) for the end of May. As has been reported we crashed the 300 members barrier, and growth continues solidly.
Carry on!
