The Anorak Zone Forums

[Anorak]

I spent most of the weekend redoing the opening page of the site (I know), but had to go out last night before I could tell anyone about it:

http://www.anorakzone.com/

I thought it was overdue an update, so there we go. While I intend to have more at the top of the site (incl. an FAQ) this is it for now. I've also created a new store for the site. Also, the Randall & Hopkirk area is temporarily down as I need to repay the domain fees - oops!

Sapphire & Steel section still down... it's like old times

Seriously, though, well done for staying afloat my site died last week, and I'm still wondering about what to do next (a blog, prob'ly, but where?).

EDIT - actually, all that is irrelevant, isn't it, you've just effectively repainted your front door. Very nice.

Why did it die, slag?

[Sidesk]

Yahoo shut down Geocities to save money I did save my telly reviews, but left those for books and BFs because a) I was short of time, and b) I thought 'why bother?'

[Anorak]

What do they offer, web-making wise now?

Since Sidey hasn't replied yet I'll tell you.

Nothing for free. The f***ers want you to pay for it now.

I f***ed off my geocities ages ago simply cos it was a shit interface and they had weird restrictions on file types and things that I just couldn't be f***ed bothering with. In fact I find Yahoo generally pretty f***ing useless; the old email accounts I still have with them now get filtered through my Gmail and Gmail routinely pics up shit that Yahoo doesn't, flagging it as a potential threat. Yahoo's search capacity isn't worth dog cock and their site is so f***ing cluttered you can't find anything.

There are heaps of free site hosting out there way better.

Oh and your site?
Well you already know what I think.

As you can see, although we might mess around with daft reviews and stuff, there's no Doctor Who section of the Zone, and never really has been, officially. (Unless you count the brief Eccles bit). The Anorak Zone isn't a Doctor Who site, and I include DW on its forums just because it's a popular show we can talk about.\

Why do you deny your true nature??

You're like a closeted gay man in a bath house saying he's only there for the sauna.

Well I dunno why I made so much of that now, but I've never felt the need to do a Who site, because there's so many out there. An official AZ one, I mean.

But if anyone says to me "you're a hater, you don't like a lot of new who" then f*** it... this isn't a Who site anyway, so why do I have to?

[Shaft-o-Gigsville]

Yeah, but face it, you're a Who fan first and foremost. Most of your posts are about Who in one way or another. You may not be running a Who site, but why bury it?



And you suck the c0cks of strangers in public places.

[Anorak]

I do like Who, but I'm just making it clear that I don't have a Who site, just a section about it on the forum.

I might remove that paragraph as it's not really what the thread's about anyway. I dunno why I even mentioned it, really.
