Missing Hivers

It's sad I thought during the lockdown there would be more discussion here, though mind you there's not much to talk about I suppose LOL.

Ingrid is taking some time off from the forum. I spoke to him a few days ago and he's doing well. Boofer has been online recently but hasn't posted. I'll message The Brigade Leader soon.

I only really talk about babes and M.I. High these days. I'm not really interested in much else at the moment. I'm sure they'll be more topics to talk about soon.

There are rewatches on planet Mondas and the usual bullshit on GB, the world is still turning.

Truth is many people have tuned out since lockdown.

I know some people who are just using it as an excuse for a bloody good rest; they're just switching the net off, putting some music on and/or reading a good book.

Currently, I'm spending my time going down various Internet cul de sacs.

I've also participated in some live watches of Who and various other shows, although it's mostly talking and pisstaking than actual watching.

Good to hear back from you. Is it the New Whoathons you're taking part in?

They are doing the Zygons one next. It'll be nice to hear Ingrids thoughts on that (obviously) but otherwise I can't be arsed.

Nah, these are just private streams and not organised. Just a few friends and some old Who.

I've been trying to persuade Bernard to come back, but I don't think we'll be seeing him again...

How come?

We were emailing each other last month, but I haven't heard from him for a while now. How is he doing? He's a great member and I'd be sad if he never came back.

I haven't given up yet, but perhaps you talking to him as well might help.

I also emailed Stegnos yesterday, but no reply so far.

I emailed him a week or so ago but sadly I haven't received a reply either. It's fair to assume that Tiberius probably won't be coming back to the forum again. He hasn't logged in at all this year and hasn't replied to either email that I sent him. Shame really.

Hello! Apologies for being gone for so long, but it’s given me the chance to dedicate myself to firm relaxation amidst the COVID-19 crisis and I’ve started to read avidly again too. Distancing oneself from the Internet (and from dedicated online discussion) has done me some good in the meantime.

I’ve been going through some difficult patches with the family too in certain ways given that they’ve gone through so much stress of late, and it’s made me relatively cynical of late, but I’m back now after being contacted again by Ludders and Maxil and discussing it further with them.

Glad to hear I was missed. I might not posts as frequently as I did, but I’ll stick around.

Clearly I spoke too soon.
Good to see you back!

You've missed a lot! Ian came out just a few weeks back (it was quite emotional) and I was exposed as being a pervert. Oh wait, the latter happened before you left.

You haven’t changed.

From what I can tell, this place has been fairly quiet since lockdown began. The members who’ve been inactive are probably just taking a break as I did.

So glad to see your back. You were one of the best posters here. It's been a bit quiet on the DW front, but the general discussion is still good.

I think we should just look on this place as being a virtual pub, a good place to have a chat, but nothing more.

The Timeless Children appears to have killed any enthusiasm for DW even on a DW board LOL.

True dat.

The Hive is indeed a pub. That's why everyone sounds so bloody plastered all of the time.

This has aged well

Indeed.

Welcome back, Bernard.
