  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

 She was good in Lethal Weapon 2 :)

 What a curious and spurious personal hygiene deterioration reaction to a televised grand-parental custodial revelation. I wonder if she's started slopping out and eating porridge?

 I hope she never gets any really bad news, can you imagine her poor neighbours?

The biggest Doctor Who fan site on the Internet, until its closure in August 2007.

Run by the organisers of the Gallifrey One conventions held annually in Los Angeles, it was frequently read by the series production team, journalists and Tie In Novels writers, a number of whom also post there.

With the new series, the site was mentioned in the UK tabloid press, most notably when the outpouring of anger to Christopher Eccleston's departure forced its forum to be shut down for four days. Although not an official site, it had more members than the BBC's discussion forum and maintains good relations with the official show team, and key persons from the production team of the new series and expanded media have been known to post there. It also attracts a lot of professional writers about TV- no fewer than six members turned up in a 2008 documentary on British detectives called The Perfect Detective.

With Shaun Lyon deciding to shut the site down, its main constituents were split off into separate websites, although they retained their links.

The forum moved to doctorwhoforum.com, (which now directs to a japanese site, please insert real forum URL here) and had a very notable atmosphere. Many of the sub-forums were named after Doctor Who connected items i.e. "The Space Museum" (a trading section), "Time-Space Visualiser" (the other media section) and "The Leisure Hive" (a more mature section that was formerly for over 18s only and referred to in other threads if things started to wander into the inappropriate), "Tenth Planet" ('serious' real world debate and discussion - politics, religion etc).

It had a number of running gags ("I'll get me coat" and other variations, usually after cracking a bad joke) and a slight marked significant tendency towards fan-boy and fan-girl behaviour at times. Also the longer a thread went on, the more likely someone would try and derail the thread by talking about lesbians (and occasionally bonobos, or gay necrophiliac ducks... don't ask). However, it was a very friendly place with a lot of knowledgeable, funny and creative people, not all of whom are tropers. Yet!

The new forum was shut down on July 31st 2009 - and note that it has not been archived. However, Gallifrey Base is a Spiritual Successor. You may find it here.
