This is great news to open up the forum to! The review feature might be my favourite feature of the site so it’s cool to win an award for it. I really do need to read more of them though.
It is pretty epic!! Now… let’s talk about the 9999 other People who played a Role in the Whoniverse and make us known to them
Really?! I thought it was always there!
Oh, the young and inexperienced! You should know how things were back in the food bold days when times were simpler!
Same. I have so many of them on the old site, and I can’t find the time to edit them and bring them over.
Anyway, thanks for yet another award! I don’t know how to explain these to my wife, and I need to buy a new cupboard from IKEA now so that I can fit them all. They are, after all, bigger on the outside.
Writing and sharing reviews is one of my favourite things about the site, so I’m happy it’s paid off
Oh wow! I really hadn’t been expecting to receive an award at all, so this is amazing.
I can’t believe it’s for reviews as well, I thought that the fact I skipped new reviews
for any story I hadn’t completed would mean I would be miles away from being the person to like the most. I really just enjoy hearing alternative points of view on stories.
You won’t have been the first to do this! It take a while but very satisfying once it’s done (plus - great content for us!)
Thank you for the award!! Reviews have made the site an essential destination for me and I can’t wait to see where they go next!
What? What? What?!
Where am I? What just happened?! Oh—wait—is that Kate? Did someone just teleport me to the party?! But—I’m not even wearing the right clothes for this!
Before I can process anything, Rose walks up to me, concern in her eyes.
“Are you okay?” she asks.
I nod, still dazed. “Yeah… just a bit confused.”
She smiles knowingly and hands me an envelope. “You’re here for a reason. The Mods sent you to present an award!”
Wait—what? Me? An award? I blink in surprise but take the envelope. Hands slightly shaking, I open it and begin to read aloud:
"This award is for TARDIS.guide’s Founder of the Year! This incredible individual has given us a site we all love—one that many of us visit daily to track, rate, and review everything related to Doctor Who. But it’s so much more than that. They have built a community—a home—where we support and care for each other. Even when we don’t always agree, we always respect each other. And none of this would have been possible without one person’s vision and dedication. So, with gratitude and admiration, we present this award to… @Shauny"
The room erupts in cheers and applause. Laughter and excitement fill the air as everyone rushes forward to congratulate Shauny.
And just as the celebration reaches its peak—I get teleported away!
Most deserved award of them all! Thank you Shauny!!!
Thank you shauny for this wonderful little community!!!
Thanks Shauny!
Shauny you deserve this award and much more!
Agreed! Anyway thank you shauny for creating this very nice platform.
And of course thanks to all the Mods as well!
Thank you for creating and constantly improving this wonderful site, shauny! It is by far my favorite place on the internet and your work is incredible!!
This. Plus an O.B.E. for services to Doctor Who fans. It’s only fair.
Oh! Thank you! I have been taking a break from the UNIT party, just spent the afternoon with my beautiful granddaughter, so this is a lovely thing to find as I come back online
More awards coming soon!!
Well, this was a surprising recipient of that award!
But so very well deserved!
Congratulations
Well, I’d popped out (Grandpa duties called), but now after getting a quick lift off a Zingo I’m back in London atop the UNIT Tower again.
The place is still buzzing from @Tian’s visit earlier. They are sorry you couldn’t stay for longer! Apparently they were just about to prepare pickled herring for you.
The shelf of awards to hand out is looking rather bare now, only a few left, so I will space them out a bit more - got to make the celebrations last, as we are waiting on one particular very special guest!
Here are some awards for Biggest financial contributions to the site. I really hate asking for money, but the site does cost money to run, and whilst I am still paying about half the monthly bill myself, every Patron who contributes helps the site to grow, lets me spend my budget on other things to improve the site, and keeps it running!
I’d like to give every Patron a reward but we’d be here all night, so I just want to say I truly appreciate every single Patron, no matter what you give but here is some special recognition the top 10 people who have contributed the most in 2024:
@TheDreamerKey @1stvamp @ineffyble @ItsR0b0tNinja @deltaandthebannermen @MrColdStream @Tian @Shayleen @sircarolyn @beqowl
easiest monthly subscription choice I ever made <3
Hard agree. I will keep supporting the site for as long as I’m able to, which should be forever unless something unexpected happens. That’s how important this site and community are for me.
In absolute agreement. I don’t patron much (and have recently let one lapse because it just wasn’t delivering in its promise) but this is one I can see me always committing to. We should definitely try and get some more patron benefits though .
