RIP Outpost Gallifrey / DWF
Closing with effect on July 31st for good!
![]() Where else will we all go? I hope there's another Doctor Who forum with a set reports section, I won't be able to cope this Summer without being able to see pics of Series Five being filmed!

Come here? Ah I'm sure something else will come up, although I'm also sure the rate the episode threads here are going to get more negative as a result of this.
The ming mongs are now homeless.

Hopefully they worst of the DWF moderators and posters will create their own little forum where they can carry on as before.
Everyone else is more than welcome here. And it's all free! |

Never visited it before but had heard of it, I find the press release amusing. Essentially the creator is saying "I'm proud of the community I established, but I created it and you can't have it, go make your own!"
Love it! |

NB: I'd be stunned if it lasts till July 31st now, it'll become uncontrollable I'd imagine.

Apparently, they're starting up a new forum called 'Gallifrey Base', so I guess the majority of OG regulars will just migrate over there.

Steven W Hill is opening a new forum called Gallifrey Base.
Thank the lord. Edit: Beaten to the punch. |

I tend to visit the news page quite reguarly just to keep up with things. Is there another site with a news page as good or better than that?

Gallifrey Base appears to be getting the doctorwhoforum.com URL, so I suppose you could call it a regeneration rather than a death, if you're in a glass half full kind of mood.

ETA: Nope, I see now that the posts will not be carried over and we will have to register again, but Steve is welcoming all formerly banned people to start over with a clean slate.

I hope there's another Doctor Who forum with a set reports section, I won't be able to cope this Summer without being able to see pics of Series Five being filmed! ![]() Doctor Who online has a thread on set reports. Quite often it involves those who post on DWForum first but I still find it useful. |

Love it! Instead, it was funded by donations from voluntary patrons and, so Shaun wouldn't have to pay tax on those donations and they could go entirely to pay for the site, DWF was actually set up as a legal entity in its own right as a non-profit organization. However, it seems that handing over ownership of this non-profit legal entity and its assets to somebody else is a tax law minefield and impractical. This seems, reading between the lines, to be why, formally, DWF is ceasing to exist even as a new, practically identical forum takes its place. |

And good riddance to them too! Perhaps now Doctor Who fans can finally get rid of the bitchy overdramatic snobbish stereotypes and 'questionable' staffing that plagued OG and DWF for so long.

There's already been complaints from regulars on a few other boards that there's such an influx of 'refugees' that long time regulars on those boards are getting lost in the shuffle... and DWF doesn't even close for another two months! |

There's a new site up already, Outpostwho.
The person who set it up has just copied everything from DWF and already has nearly 300 members in 1 day. |

Be more specific, a google search for outpost who has Outpost Gallifrey top of the list, and the new site nowhere to be seen. Address please?

![]() Outpostwho.com is the address, feel free to register. It's a work in progress, so if there's something you're not fond of, post it in the help section, all things are considered! |

LOL!!! Couldn't agree more! The self-styled "super-fans" who think they own the show - what a pathetic shower of overly-officious tosspots.

It's no loss whatsoever! A bunch of trolling, self important cliques have overrun the place lately. Assorted "warriors", "diciples" and "squads" of fans behaving like 3 year olds in a creche. Good riddance to em
So not much of a cause for celebration there... |
