Excuse me. I have an important announcement to make.

And I must note, maybe this is just me being stupid about how the Googler on the ol' internets machine really works. I suspect it does serve you results tailored to your web-browsing habits.

BUT.

I just searched "Newsfix" on Google and we show up on the second page of results.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who keeps this an active site! I'm sure part of turning up higher in search returns is how much content is regularly generated on the site.

At least, I think I'm sure.

if you use google analytics's you can analyse traffic and promote the site to a wider audience

It can grow at its own pace as far as I'm concerned. We've seen a huge influx of new members recently, but I imagine that pace will dwindle and that we can't possibly hope that everyone who's signed up in December will stick around as regular contributors.

What page you appear on in Google is a function of how often your keyword is searched and selected.  If you want people to search you more, start a rumour about the growing popularity of beastiality among suburban housewives, or in polygamy in Parliament.  Make sure you mention Newsfix, but leave out the URL

You'll see your popularity soar.

I'm lookin' it up right away.   

The bunch of us who are former Liquiere Free members know each other, are a really decent crowd and are here for the long haul.
Very glad to have been most welcome after we lost our old site.

Good evening Ben.

Ben just out of courtesy,I am informing you that I have miraculously metatmorphed from £BILLION£ to Shady.

Oh, how terribly common of you, darling.

But bet you still have the lacy undies on Shady 

Get yer coat Shady you've pulled
  

You have pulled Shady, good luck to you, Shady knows what I'm saying and taking the mick is nearer the mark.

 

Sorry, could someone please explain the expression "you've pulled" to the poor American?

Ben_Reilly wrote:Sorry, could someone please explain the expression "you've pulled" to the poor American?

You have pulled, you have got them interested, you are taking them home for a bit of this and some of that lol

Ben_Reilly wrote:Sorry, could someone please explain the expression "you've pulled" to the poor American?

Get yer coat you have pulled means that some one fancies you and wants to take you home to cop off with you!!

Gracias para la explanación. :D

Very welcome.

Ben_Reilly wrote:Gracias para la explanación. :D

You are very welcome -lots of these expressions are very regional in the UK.

Cop off for example is very scouse!

If they don't say it on Dr. Who I probably don't know what it means   

Ben_Reilly wrote:If they don't say it on Dr. Who I probably don't know what it means   

Love love love Dr Who   
Who is your favourite Dr and have you seen the day of the Doctor?

Haha, that's a tough one. I loved Eccleston at first and hated Tenant ... for about two episodes, then he became my favorite. Not to say I didn't also quite like Matt Smith, thought he did a great job! The new guy, Capaldi -- I was dubious at first but I've convinced myself now that Moffat knows what he's doing and that Capaldi will be great. But still, Tenant's my favorite of all.

I did see Day of the Doctor, what did you think? I found it slightly less awesome than I thought it would be, but still good overall. I think maybe the ad campaign got my expectations elevated a bit too high. But I would have liked to see more characters and companions involved.

Speaking of which, who's your favorite companion? I'd have to say for me it was this lovely lady:



... even though, like the Doctor, I haven't really encountered one I didn't like. I guess Clara was my least favorite but that's not to say I didn't like her. I liked Amy Pond and Donna quite a bit, too.

'My' Doctor was Tom Baker, but since it came back, Im with you, I thought Christopher Ecclestone was brilliant and was prepared to dislike Tennant. I then promptly loved him to bits!
Donna is my fave companion.
I get your point about Day of the Doctor, but Tom Baker was in it so I was happy  :D

Tom Baker was my favourite as well! Haven't watched Dr Who as much recently though.

Cant really take to Matt Smith myself

Christopher Ecclestone was a tad moody and dark but still a excellent doctor but its a pity Jonathan ross scared the hell out of him with the doctor toy figure
tennnat was great ,and same as mat smith
and even though i am sceptical about capaldi
i agree with ben
Moffet knows what he is doing ....i hope that holds true

And the day of the doctor ....i thought was awesome watched it at least 10 times so far

Have to admit, I haven't really watched the pre-2005 episodes (just a bit of one). It's kind of like how I have a hard time watching the original Star Trek -- I can't stop goggling at the cardboard sets and overall poor production values compared to modern programs ...

Nobody has mentioned Jon Pertwee, brilliant.

Ben, you are too young, that was half the fun lol

Ever watched Blake's 7?

Sassy wrote:Nobody has mentioned Jon Pertwee, brilliant.

He was the first Dr that i saw on screen as a kid, he was really good as well   

He was, he brought humour and eccentricity to it, with a dash of sex appeal.

Never saw Blake's 7, but I just looked it up and it reminds me (at least superficially) of the original Battlestar Galactica. Which was another show I couldn't get into because I was so in love with the newer remake ...

Then again, the original BSG had Starbuck excited about bringing a three-headed singer aboard the Galactica in what couldn't have been more than a month after the annihilation of the Colonies. Come on!

He was funny in Worzel Gummidge!

     Your reputation even precedes you, shady sweetheart.  Did you register with the site's sex transgender list?  I do believe it's under 'profiles'.
