I guess some of you folks lurk around the BBC cult site and have made a lot of mates on the boards. So you'll know that the end is nigh, and the boards etc are going. If anyone ever reads this (not holding my breath) BOOOOOOO! BAH HUMBUG! HISSSSSSSSS! GRRRRRRRR! To the BBC.Did you ever like The X Files, or where you just humouring us Philes? I PAY YOUR WAGES YOU KNOW!!!!

Hi Emma. *sympathetic* I read your post! Unfortunately the closure of the XF MB was only to be expected eventually, seeing as the programme has ended but the closure of the entire Cult site is a bit of a shock. I think I saw somewhere that 'Talk Buffy' is to close too. So every cloud...
As for whether the BBC ever liked XF... it was a highly popular TV programme once, with a prime time slot on BBC1. That changed a long time ago (S7 onwards?), and it was apparently well-known that the contoller on BBC2 was not an XF fan.
Anyway, I've posted my 'farewell' to the MB. I made some wonderful friends through it (and through h2g2) and for that I am eternally grateful.
Are you a member of The Hangout? If so (or if you'd like to join) I'll look forward to seeing you there. I'm not online much currently, but hope to pop in from time to time.
How's forensic medicine going?
Love Sus
