I musn't forget my speech!!
How can I thank you all for this award? Here goes.
Thanks. I've gone through some hard times. Especially in that particular thread. I spent the last nine pages trying to get away! And to kill the thread of course. If only I knew how to lock it......
I've had some good times on this forum. From the thread which you were supposed to write ONE sentence of an episode, to the Whoonie Inn and from Series 5 speculation to "David tennant! How dare you!"
Its been a rough ride, but its been worth it. Its been fun and glorious. And life changing. Yes, it has. From this Forum, and this Forum alone, I have learnt that everyone has a right to an opinion and Sally Sparrow is ALWAYS involved!
Here at college, when I have been given Wednesdays with giant gaps between lectures, I have needed shelter from the boredom and loneliness of simply waiting for time to pass. This forum has offered me that. This forum, rose out of the darkness of absolute boredom and insanity, like the Lady of the Lake and handed me a world in which all people were fans like me. Where all fans cherished those saturday nights with the family watching a Timelord in a Tardis. Where all people cared for the show. Maybe not as much as they did. Maybe they don't like the show compared to how it used to be..........Ting....but even then, they still see the light of how great the show really is.
People complain about John Nathan Turner, or Gay agendas, but people love the show for what it is and thats why they watch. They still tune in for change because deep down, the show means a lot to them and thats why they're loyal fans. Even if Matts to young, or Deux ex Machinmas get on everyones nerves. They still settle down to watch a show that fundamentally hasn't changed since its beginning. Since its dawn. A show that Millions watch, A show that millions laugh with, a show that millions hide behind the sofa because of.
THATS what makes Doctor Who great. Thats what makes this forum so special. Thats why I love this forum and will not be leaving it the near or far future. Its a place where people who love the show gather to love the show. They don't have to be Trivia-no-it-alls or costume wearers, they could just be your average Joe, who likes to pop off to the "I'm a celebrity" forum after a nice bit of Who talk. And all these fans can gather in a place without hatred, or rivalry, or too much nerdisms. All these people, with a common interest can gather on cold nights, in front of the computers after a Christmas special to discuss one actors departure from the show. To discuss cameos, and plot twists, and trailers and clips. To discuss all those things and just simply, to discuss why Doctor Who rests in all there hearts, and always will.
Thanks for listening and thanks for the award.
Good night.
