Title: Gallifrey Base
Post by: TheDoctorDonna on September 11, 2010, 06:08:34 pm
I use Gallifrey Base sometimes but I mostly lurk. I posted a new page over there promoting this place because I like it here a lot, but thought it only fair to make one here that links back to there. This is the post I set up, though it is in a really quiet section, so not sure if it will get much notice.

That's great, thank you. I cant see the page personally, but every little helps and hopefully members over there will notice it :)

They are pretty clique-y over there, so I only post occasionally, but theres some great insiders who post spoilers there :)

I agree, it's very cliquey over there. I have a membership but I never use it. I cant stand when a group who act as if they own the place. Ive seen other people on here say they feel the same about it too

Perhaps some of you who have memberships could post in there to keep it bumped to the top?

I'm thinking of joining GB, but no-one here seems to have anything nice to say about it, so I'm not sure. Should I or shouldn't I?

I would say it very much depends on what you want from the place. And in what areas you're interested in. It's big and very established - newcomers can find it.... intimidating ;)

Besides, why would you want to leave here? We may not have as many members, but we have the latest gossip and you can say rude words. Its win/win :P

GB does have an adult section, but its really just a clique chat in there too lol

There are some very lovely people over at GB, unfortunately with 30+K members there are also some not so lovely ones too!
It's always worth dipping your toe in the water.

I used to visit the place sometimes, but I never posted. It gets too overcrowded and the atmosphere isnt very nice. Havent even lurked there in about a month though. Everyone started arguing over anything they could, so I thought I was best off out of it

Like any big forum there are gonna be cliques and arguments, but it doesn't take long to spot them and avoid imo.  I mainly just lurk over there myself, it's great for spoilers :D

They have membership requirements? Thats shitty. Well you dont need them anyway. You have us :)

I will say though, can we try and keep it civil in here. If you have had bad experiences there then that is fine, you can document them, but try not to be too mean about the place. I'd hate if we were being slated somewhere

This is one of the worst forums I have ever been on. Not just for DW, but in general. The moderators think they are working in a concentration camp and treat people like ****. I had a thread on there giving my reasons for disliking a particular episode and they removed it and sent me a message saying that negativity wasn't welcome and instead of pointing out something I didnt like why didnt I join in with discussions about stuff I do like. Its a **** take. If you cant air a view without having it hidden from view and binned then what is the point of talking to people. The majority of the members over there are arseholes too. Everyone tries so hard to show that they are the bigger fan and go looking for things to correct and pull you up on. Its a forum of oneupmanship where anyone not in the in clique is looked down upon and spoken to like crap. Dont get me wrong I can be as harsh as the best of them, but I usually argue opinions rather than call people names because they dont know how many minutes Turlough was on screen during Planet of Fire, or whatever other pointless fact proves you are the biggest fan. I deleted my account!

Seriously, they're that bad?!?! Well, I won't be dipping my sandals into that water ever again, that's for sure. Even DWO isn't that bad

I quite like it over there, there's a lot of negativity but it's always the same few people bleating loudly so they are easy to avoid.  Same with the cliques, it just seems that they are all like that because of a very small amount of people that make the most noise.  But being cliques they, again, tend to stick to certain types of threads so it doesn't take long to work out which topics to stay out of.

I like the non DW sections the most, they are much friendlier and very informative at times.  I've met some great people from there.
